The Aesgar Galaxy stands upon the brink of interstellar war. That’s good news to Magnus Laren – as a mercenary, war is his business, and business is good. But when an intelligence raid turns up advanced cybernetic weaponry in the hands of the enemy, things quickly go from bad to worse.

Magnus and his companions-of-opportunity are thrust into the heart of this struggle between good and evil. But good and evil are not black and white, and the line between them is hardly a straight one. And one man’s hero is another man’s villain.

Indeed, the fate of everyone in Aesgar – Terran, Nebulan, Graedian, and dragon alike – may well be tied to a long-forgotten villain, whose knowledge could save the galaxy . . . or destroy it.

The first book in a sci-fi epic that redefines the genre. The future is in the past, and nothing is as it seems . . .

“After the first ten pages, I knew that I would not be able to rest until I had read the rest. This is a seriously great story. Swords, energy blasters, heavily armed spacecraft, blatant misuse of military property, it really has it all!”
BILL HARRIS

“My husband Jeremy hasn’t read the book yet, but exclaimed cries of joyful anticipation at the mention of both spaceships and dragons.”
BROOKE LITTELL

“The description is great, the characters are diverse and each has their own tone of dialogue, which remains distinct and doesn’t bleed over into the narrator.”
JOHN CESSNA

“I just finished reading it and was blown away. The story had me completely captivated. But now I have to wait for the next one!”
GABE COOLEY

“Metal, dude.”
ANDY KORTY

"The plot is very interesting and always keeps you reading a little more...and it leaves you totally hanging at the end of the book, so now I have to read the next!"
JUSTIN MASON

“My fifteen-year old, who is a freshman in high school, was reading the first chapter this morning. He must have liked it pretty well because he read all the way through it and I don’t see that happen often. So...when will the movie be out?”
ROBIN HAWKINS
