Arkarin Blackhawk is a mercenary and a smuggler operating in
the Far Stars. The Far Stars are just
that, far from the tyrannical empire that appears to have made Blackhawk the
man he is. Blackhawk has a crew of extraordinarily loyal misfits who excel at
mayhem. Blackhawk has lifted each and
every one of them out of an untenable situation and earned their undying
loyalty. Blackhawk is tasked with finding
his friend’s daughter, Astra, who has been kidnapped.
Blackhawks sordid past is referred to but never back storied
so we have nothing but inferences as to how his body and character have been
built. He spends a lot of time agonizing
over his past sins with no reference to what they were. His crew doesn’t care who he was before
only that they owe him their lives and they stand stalwartly behind him.
This is a space opera that was a delight to read and I look
forward to the second volume.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
