Craig Bowlsby

Stationed in a neglected area of space known as Killing Reach, Horth Nersal, a verbally challenged master swordsman, is beset with problems which threaten to end his career on the battle-wheel Avenger.

As an officer he must prove to Liege Bryllit that he is worthy of responsibility and promotion.

But Horth’s own straight-forward approach, sense of honor and naivete seem only to entangle him in the designs of others.
