Reviews From the First Light Chronicles Series and Omnibus:

Geof of SomaCow Radio says; "Engaging, thrilling, exciting, new concepts. This author does a great job of integrating the staples of science fiction in new ways. Loved the character interaction (especially in the last one). There are great twists in this book series. It was like getting hit in the back of the head, I didn't see them coming. I really enjoyed reading and reviewing this book series and I'm going on to read Resurrection. I see big things coming for this author."

"Good science fiction is hard to find, good independent writers are even harder. This is the best independent writer I've read in a decade, bar none.

He strikes a balance between plot and character that most professionals struggle and fail to achieve. I recommend this book to all my readers and to everyone who appreciates a character driven story."

Product Description

The first book in the First Light Chronicles Series. Large enough to support an entire civilization, one of the last free ports all alone in the dark, Freeground Station is about to come under siege. Able to fight off periodical assaults and attempted takeovers in the past, they are losing ground technologically, and with no nearby allies they find themselves resorting to the unorthodox to improve their situation. Jonas Valent, a former engineer with the Freeground Fleet has reduced his professional life as a trade and supply agent, a not so glorified port traffic director. In his spare time he and his friends engage in anonymous combat with anyone who opposes them in station wide simulations. Their success rate and original thinking have earned them the attention of Freeground Fleet Command who have plans for the unsuspecting anonymous team. This book is about how it all began for Jonas and his friends. How they came together and took their first steps out into the galaxy.

This is the first installment in the First Light Chronicles Series and can also be found in the First Light Chronicles Omnibus.
