Extended description

Cordass Pell has a problem. When the 21 year old regains consciousness on a strange ship, he finds that he is on his way to serve a life sentence on the frozen penal planet of Demerl. But before the transport arrives, the ship is hijacked by pirates and Pell and the other prisoners are sold as slaves to a sadistic owner in a distant star system. The trouble is that he can’t remember anything about his life before waking up on that prison transport. And someone keeps trying to kill him. As he tries to learn about his mysterious past he realizes that the secret of his identity may hold the key to stabilizing the turbulent political situation in his home nation and perhaps all of human occupied space.

As a sci-fi fan from waaay back, i can be a bit of a tough critic; I have to say this book pleasantly suprised me with it's suprising plot, dimentional characters, and energized pace. Looking forward to the next 2 and hopefully more from this talented author. Well done!

Okay, this is going to sound like a lot of hyperbole, but I simply could not put my Nook down until I finished this book. Mr. Gerrard has created a wonderful cast of characters, and if you don't find yourself cheering for their triumphs and crying for their losses, I'd suggest you need a heart transplant.

I am *anxiously* awaiting the next volume in the series.
