The Helavite War

Book excerpt: Jake is a human mercenary looking for a quiet place to rest, when his Protect Dar-dolf attacks the last living Henu, Arr. Feeling responsible, Jake stays on to care for Arr, as the alien with deep blue cat eyes and unusual abilities recovers. Jake takes on the role of teacher, mentor, father, and lost brother for his new alien friend. As they are challenged by one mercenary mission after another they learn to appreciate each other's unique abilities. Ultimately, they must face their toughest foe, the Helavites, a species which has been preying on the weaker beings in the universe for generations. In the underground catacombs of these beetle-like creatures a mystery is solved and the foundation for the resurrection of an old world is laid.
