On the surface, the galaxy seems peaceful. Humankind prospers from the Capital World to the far reaches of The Corridor. But to those who can see the signs, it's clear something is wrong. Long, dark fingers are pulling strings inside the military, making clandestine deals with enemy states, and fulfilling some dark design. Calvin is an intelligence agent working for the Imperial government. He's young, his methods are unorthodox, but he gets results. So when a former military hero steals a warship and goes rogue, threatening to start a war, Calvin is sent to eliminate him. But as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game that shakes kingdoms, divides empires, and threatens civilization everywhere. And if he is to uncover the mystery and expose the conspiracy he must confront, and embrace, the darkest elements of the galaxy and throw himself, his career, and everyone he loves into the line of fire.… (altro)

FROM AMAZON: Calvin, an intelligence operative, is sent to eliminate a dangerous traitor. But, as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game. One that threatens humankind everywhere.

If he is to uncover the conspiracy he must confront--and embrace--the darkest elements of the galaxy. And throw himself, his career, and everyone he loves into the line of fire.

An enjoyable read with plenty going on. Shame it's part of a series, I didn't realise it was when I started it, I doubt I'll get to know the rest of the story now! I would have given it 4 stars if it had been a standalone read..... oh well ( )

This is a free e-book available from several vendors. It is a fast paced military/mystery sci-fi similar to a Star Trek novel. Don't expect any mind-blowing hard science here though, it's not that deep; in this one the futuristic world is just the setting for the story. But if you just want a page turning thriller with a mystery to boot, then you'll probably enjoy this. The writing was decent, but there were a few typos throughout and it would benefit the author to revisit the book and clean those up. Since this is independently released it probably didn't have the level of editing you'd get from a normal publisher. Also, a few parts of the story probably could have done with some extra polishing, but it didn't stop me from wanting to read it.

The book is the first in a trilogy, so don't expect the mystery to be solved by the end of this one. The second book is currently available on the Kindle and the Nook, but the 3rd one is only available on the Kindle at the moment. Also, while the first book is free, the second and third do require payment, but they are typical low cost e-books, so it won't cost you a lot.

Overall this is not bad for an little known independent author and I can see the beginnings of what could be a promising future if Mr. Sanders keeps at it. ( )
