The Raven’s Children

Starship Captain, Dex Varklyn, in a moment of compassion, buys a young girl out of a lifetime of slavery on a harsh planet. He gives her a life and changes her slave number into a name, Zuzu Raven. Their friendship and her continual growth as a free person is filled with rescue missions, reunited families, and the discovery of an ancient world protected by an unusual alien race. Harassed throughout by a vengeful race of slave traders, their adventures culminate in a space and land battle that tests the limits of their wits and skills. Even the well organized planetary coalition may be no match for the vicious slaver-king on his dark throne. Creative world building, wholesome themes, and strong relationships, make this ’sci-fi with heart’, a refreshing adventure for anyone to enjoy.
