What brings a man to the brink of despair and surrender?
When dark circumstances threaten to overwhelm him and his family, young Markus Talwin is forced to choose — lose all the people he loves the most or delve into the dangerous underworld of Beltran and forge a new destiny of revenge against a corrupt Galactic regime and the one man that rules it.
As he struggles to keep himself and his family alive he must face the true realities that govern the cosmos — no man can be good when he loses himself, not every ruler holds his peoples’ best interests at heart, and not every criminal is the monster that the law might make him out to be.
Talwin’s journey is not a search for glory or greatness — he knows that these cannot feed his starving family. Instead, his battle is personal: a fight to live against all odds, to rise above a broken system, and to prove that one determined man can make a difference.
Book one of a grand Space Opera, following the life and times of Markus Talwin throughout the maelstrom of the changing times faced by the galactic republic.
