Title: Starhawk Allegiance
Description: Spanning thousands of worlds and home to hundreds of sentient species, the Great Union once stood as a shining example of a free republic. Now, after centuries of peace and prosperity, its Constitution hangs by a thread. President-for-Life Darmaz Volan subverts individual liberties. Almost all aspects of daily life fall under government control. Whole species live as slaves.

Pushed to their breaking point, many would take up arms to regain freedom and restore Constitutional rule. But these Patriots hail from disparate backgrounds: men and women, Human and non-Human, from all walks of life and all social strata on countless worlds. How can they unite?

Ward Stevenson—combat veteran and heir to a vast fortune—harbors disillusionment with the government he serves. When his girlfriend and fellow Patriot disappears, he is forced to defect. The fight is now personal as much as it is moral.

At the same time, a new threat rises. A government official finds his life threatened by the president. Unwilling to back the Patriots—who seek a return to the past—he embarks on a mission to overthrow Volan and install himself as Monarch.

The Patriots hide in the shadows. Enemies press from all sides. Starting from nothing, Ward must assemble allies into a viable fighting force while struggling with demons from his past and running from his infamous name. And he must prove the Patriot cause seeks freedom for all, not to replace one tyrant with another.

Failure dooms the Union to darkness…perhaps forever.

Allegiance—Book 1 of the Starhawk Saga—is a thrilling science-fiction adventure delving into tyrannical intrigue, the evils humanity inflicts upon itself, and the eternal struggle by the forces of good to set things right.
