Book Description

Cirrus Cycle September 2000
Raised on the distant, rural planet of Cirrus because of an overcrowded Earth, young Timothy Brogan becomes a key player in a galactic power struggle in Imperial Guard.

In the late 23rd century, a young Timothy Brogan leaves his rural, backward planet of Cirrus for Earth, the center of the Empire and hotbed of political intrigue. As his star rises by means of a stellar military career, he gains influential friends and makes enemies of the powerful and evil Mogul faction. Along the way he finds surprising romance and a new purpose in life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imperial Guard Fits Comfortably in Star Wars Tradition, July 12, 2001
By 
Ilene Foote (Deerfield, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imperial Guard (Cirrus Cycle) (Paperback)
O'Day's first science-fiction novel, Imperial Guard, fits comfortably enough in a Star Wars tradition to be predictable. The protagonist, Timothy Brogan, is a hardworking, lower-class youth, steeped in integrity and a strong family religious faith. He makes good in a dark, competitive world that seeks to compromise his ethics and his personal wholeness.

The story line is part buddy film, part romance, part galactic blood and guts, and part suffering hero. What's refreshing about the story is that the hero risks failure in all his relationships as he dares to examine the real motives behind his drive to control his own destiny.

What is unpredictable about the novel is what transpires when this freshman Imperial Guard makes deliberate choices that go against the psyche of our contemporary heros of today. What the readers are forced to ponder is whether they dare tap deeply into the same source as Timothy Brogan did.
