Biographie:
Brandon Hill is a native of Louisiana and an avid and frequent reader of science fiction and fantasy, who began writing in the eleventh grade. Of himself, he says, I am a 'classic nerd' and prolific writer who has had dreams of authorship since childhood. I sketch perhaps even more prolifically than I write, and have drawings of just about every character my warped imagination has come up with. I hope to continue sharing these ideas, characters, and stories with others for years to come.

Sommaire:

A New Captain. An Untested Crew. Will Fortune Favor the Reckless?

Xerxes Paraska-champion in the G1 Leagues, adept at crushing his opponents' mechanized warriors with his prized Gestalt, Imani-is enjoying the sweet life with his wife Neela and his trusted crew. Meanwhile, Paige Wilson, captain of the Shadow Star, risks life and limb in the lawless regions of space in search of a big payday.

One fateful night, on what was supposed to be a shakedown run for his newly bequeathed warship, the Reckless, Xerx's penchant for bad luck drags his slightly dysfunctional family into a myriad of near-fatal misadventures. Between run-ins with a mysterious assailant and the hazards of flying in an untested vessel, Xerx finds himself on a collision course with Paige and her crew, who are hot on the trail of the dissident followers of the Pirate clans' deposed usurper king.

Will the neophyte captain and his mercenary friends survive this harrowing night of frying pan and fire, or will everyone succumb to the dangers that await them in the wild blackness of space?
