Short description

Everything seemed to be going Vydor’s way, until the Dragon Claw was sent on a rather unusual assignment to investigate a minor incident deep within the Empire’s space. That would send Vydor down a path filled with fantastically powerful enemies and extraordinary friends that would obliterate everything he ever understood to be true and threaten the very foundations of the Empire itself.

Extended description

Vydor was on a fast track to the highest-ranking position in the Imperial Navy’s security forces and was recently assigned to the senior staff of the flagship of the Navy, the Dragon Claw. All he wanted to do his entire life was to serve his god, the Emperor, and given his phenomenal performance during his training in the Naval Academy, it seemed he would be able to do just that. Everything seemed to be going his way, until the Dragon Claw and its massive command fleet was sent on a rather unusual assignment to investigate a minor incident deep with in the Empire’s space. That one event would start Vydor down a path filled with fantastically powerful enemies and extraordinary friends that would obliterate everything he ever understood to be true and threaten the very foundations of the Empire itself.

This is Volume I of the Lost Tales of Power.

Review by: Richard Adin on Oct. 28, 2011 :
I prefer to "buy" a free book, especially if it is the first book in a series, from an unknown author. That is how I discovered this book and author. Volume 1 is well-written and Vydor, the lead character, is multidimensional. Because the story is intriguing and the book so well-written, I purchased (yes, for $$$) the second volume before finishing the first -- I wanted no lag between finishing the first volume and starting the second volume. My only disappointment is that the third and fourth volumes are forthcoming. I'd like to read them NOW.

It is worth noting that there are only a few very minor grammatcial and spelling errors -- almost too few to mention. Unlike many of the free ebooks I have tried to read, this one is eminently readable and enjoyable.

Combining high-tech and magic is often not done well but this book does a superb job of it. It's one of the few books I've read recently that I read cover-to-cover in one sitting.

Wow, just in reading the first hundred pages, I'm captivated. What depth to the story... I am coming to know and care about the characters, and the adventure is huge fun.

Masterfully written. Can't wait to finish it, though then I'll dread the wait until the next one...

Well, I just finished the book..and I must say it was a very enjoyable read. I enjoy Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy, and like their books I couldn't put it down.
I highly recommend the book, and I'm really looking forward to the next installment.

A thoroughly enjoyable read. I had the privilege to read this book in rough draft and couldn't put it down. The constant nagging feeling that things were not as they seemed kept the pages turning. Now I can't wait for the sequel.

I am really enjoying this book.....I'm about half way through and am having trouble putting it down to get my work done.
I'll give another review "update" when I've finished...but so far...very good.
