StarFire Dragons: Book One

Book excerpt: StarFire Dragons: Book One of the Dragon Spawn Chronicles** Blast off with the first book of an epic sci-fi space opera adventure reminiscent of Star Trek! (But darker and works on its own terms.) Hostilities ignite when a disgraced starship commander risks his career and crew by rescuing two young enemy warriors with dangerous secrets. Join Commander Hapker on an explosive journey as he contends with not only his skilled young charges, but also unsavory bounty hunters with hidden agendas, violent passengers who will do whatever it takes to get their way, and a prejudiced crew seeking revenge. The villains will make you cringe and the heroes will make you cheer, but it’s not always easy to tell which is which. The struggle between what is right and what is necessary intensifies as every option threatens to trigger a cosmic war. "A thoughtful novel that owes a debt to Star Trek but works on its own terms." -Kirkus Reviews *Caution: Graphic violence. Not recommended for readers under 18. **The dragons are symbolic. No actual dragons.
