In one bloody afternoon, he loses everyone he loves. Adrift in a sea of terrible grief, he seeks out his one remaining family member, the embarrassing father he barely knows. Befriended by a tiny miner, a mothering prostitute and a powerful mine owner, Corbett navigates his way through trauma and into manhood. He discovers a love of reading and seeks to further his education. He is attractive to women but keeps them at a distance. To him, love equals death. Will he be able to put his tragic past behind him to find love again? Will the search for that love push him into ranching or will his love of reading propel him into being a schoolmaster? From the mining country of southern Colorado to the logging camps of Northern Oregon, Corbett ranges across the landscape of the West in the late nineteenth century. He faces danger and adversity every step of the way, trying to become the man his father never was. Although he is devastated by loss, he battles a tremendous set of obstacles to achieve his destiny. Will his path always be a lonely one? Will the guilty constraints of his broken heart ease enough to allow him to love again?

In the tradition of Star Wars, a galaxy-hopping space adventure about a galactic kingdom bent on control and the young misfit who must find the power within before it’s too late. SyFy Wire—January Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books to Pick Up as soon as Possible The Verge—18 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books to Read in January Chicago Review of Books—Best New Books of January Cade Sura holds the future of the galaxy in his hands: the ultimate weapon that will bring total peace. He didn’t ask for it, he doesn’t want it, and there’s no worse choice to wield it in all of space, but if he doesn’t, everyone’s totally screwed. The evil Praxis kingdom is on the cusp of having every star system under its control, and if that happens, there’ll be no contesting their cruel reign. Especially if its fanatical overlord, Ga Halle, manages to capture Cade and snag the all-powerful weapon for herself. Cade can’t hide from Praxis, and he can’t run from the destiny that’s been shoved into his hands. So he only has one option: He has to fight. Cade’s not going to let destiny send him on a suicide run, though. With some help from his friends—rebels and scoundrels alike—Cade’s going to use this weapon to chart a new destiny for the galaxy, and for himself. He just has to do so before everyone around him discovers that he’s a complete and total fraud. Blending the space operatics of Star Wars and the swagger of Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Star Renegades is a galaxy-hopping adventure that blasts its way from seedy spacer bars to sacred temples guarded by deadly creatures—all with a cast of misfit characters who have nowhere to go and nothing to lose.
