In the year 3747, a scientist performed a dangerous experiment on his son. It's now 3773; political corruption, betrayal and deception are rife, and the son, General Andrew Biman, is now a man.Andrew is a darling of the populace and a favorite of the monarchy. When the queen invites him to join the inter-planetary Congress, Andrew lets fly his plans to re-instate a republic, setting in motion a legislative firestorm. He is soon framed for murder, branded a traitor and on the run.
Stealing prototype warship, Andrew flees his home city, rescues a sarcastic princess from pirates and ignites a civil war - alienating his few allies in the process with his crushing arrogance. While he clashes with the princess, his envious first mate, and a promiscuous navigator, enemies amass their forces. Vulnerable, Andrew strikes deep into the heart of enemy territory with a fool’s hope…until he discovers his father’s experiment, implanted within him a lifetime ago.

Finished this book last week but forgot to give my final comments. I stand by what I wrote in my first review. (Sorry for inflating review count. Don't want to delete first review though.) Fantastic book. Dialogue is sharpest part. I thought the love story was gonna be predictible, but then it switched, then switched again. Clever. Story was good. The ending was...interesting. The damn author then had to tease me with a promised sequel. Damn you Richard. haha
Now back to digging through shit looking for something good on this site. I shouldn't complain. They are FREE!

This is fantastic! Smashwords was recommended to me by a friend for having diamonds in the rough. He wasn't kidding! I've read 4 really shitty stories so far. THIS book IS the diamond. I'm only partially through it so far, but am so excited to find a book that isn't shit I had to write a review. Why the hell is this book free?!
