The Hope of creation mankind] characterizes the Hope of the Creator
God], who made mankind in His image. Mankind's relationship with
wisdom to realize all Hope and purpose tragically imploded when
mankind chose, his Hope & purpose to become God. In that
moment, untruth was born. The Word from untruth characterized the
Hope of Evil created by creation. The Word from Truth characterized
the Hope of Good created by God, the Creator. Only God possessed
the power to create. The plan to restore creation to its original
purpose through the knowledge of Truth from God, is the essence of
the battle fought in a realm that has no beginning and is without
end. The assimilation of that Truth challenges the seed of hope,
that mankind can somehow recognize that creation can rule and serve
God, but not be God. This is mankind's hope for help, and this

The battle for freedom begun in Flames of Rebellion continues in
this action-packed military science fiction tale from the author of
the Crimson Worlds and Far Stars Confederation series. Damian Ward
thought he was done fighting. But the retired veteran and war hero
is now leading the revolution against the oppressive Federal
America-a bloody battle for the future of his adopted planet that
will cost brave rebel lives. But failure means living under the
yoke of tyranny-a price Ward and the people of Haven refuse to pay.
Federal America cannot allow Haven to break away. If rebellion is
successful on one colony, it will spread, and threaten the flow of
wealth and raw materials the government needs. With its superior
troops and weaponry, it will crush the traitorous rebellion, and
retain the empire's standing and power. The colonists have won the
first battle, and driven the government forces from the planet. But
the Federals are by no means defeated. For just months after the
brutal Colonel Semmes and his defeated troops return to Earth, a
new force is gathering, larger, better-equipped, and augmented with
front line units, veterans of the last war, ready to take back the
planet and end the threat of rebellion once and for all.

In this thrilling new installment in the Far Stars saga, a
reluctant hero with a bloody past must reunite with an old love to
battle an evil emperor willing to destroy all their worlds if he
cannot control them. When the Far Stars came under imperial attack,
Astra Lucerne--the daughter and successor of the Far Stars'
greatest conqueror--Marshal Augustin Lucerne--rallied her father's
confederation forces to defend their worlds. They were joined in
the fight by former imperial general Arkarin Blackhawk, a warrior
whose skills and brutality made him infamous, and who has, for two
decades, sought the redemption he knows is unreachable. Now, with
the imperial foothold in the sector eliminated, the Far Stars is
free and almost united. While Astra's forces continue to depose
local tyrants and warlords, Ark and his crew have slipped back into
the shadows. Though his heart belongs to Astra, Ark cannot get too
close. His imperial conditioning remains under control, but it is
still volatile, and the temptation of power threatens to unleash
the dark compulsions that made him the most merciless of the
emperor's servants. He cannot risk allowing Astra to see the
darkness inside him. But while the battle has been won, the war may
not be over. A petty smuggler makes a discovery that can enable the
emperor to strike back and crush the resistance--unless Ark and
Astra join forces again to stop him.
In Flames of Rebellion, a group of rebels fighting for independence
sows the seeds of revolution across the galaxy in this blockbuster
military sci-fi adventure from Jay Allan, the author of the Crimson
Worlds and Far Stars series. The planet Haven slides closer to
revolution against its parent nation, Federal America. Everett
Wells, the fair-minded planetary governor, has tried to create a
peaceful resolution, but his failure has caused the government to
send Asha Stanton, a ruthless federal operative, to quell the
insurgency. Wells quickly realizes that Stanton has the true power
...and two battalions of government security troops-specifically
trained to put down unrest-under her control. Unlike Wells, Stanton
is prepared to resort to extreme methods to break the back of the
gathering rebellion, including unleashing Colonel Robert Semmes,
the psychopathic commander of her soldiers, on the Havenites. But
the people of Haven have their own ideas. They are not the
beaten-down masses of Earth, but men and women with the courage and
fortitude to tame a new world. Damian Ward is such a resident of
Haven, a retired veteran and decorated war hero, who has watched
events on his adopted world with growing apprehension. He
sympathizes with the revolutionaries, his friends and neighbors,
but he is loath to rebel against the flag he fought to defend. That
is, until Stanton's reign of terror intrudes into his life-and
threatens those he knows and loves. Then he does what he must,
rallying Haven's other veterans and leading them to the aid of the
revolutionaries. Yet the battle-scarred warrior knows that even if
Haven's freedom fighters defeat the federalists, the rebellion is
far from over ...it's only just begun.
The battle for the unification and rule of the Far Stars
Confederation will be decided in Jay Allan's exhilarating third and
final book in the swashbuckling space saga, The Far Stars, begun
with Shadow of Empire and Enemy in the Dark. The Far Stars stands
on the edge of a precipice. The forces of Governor Vos have surged
forth, conquering worlds and imposing the emperor's brutal rule
over millions. Only one thing stands in the way of total victory:
Marshal Augustin Lucerne and his newly created Confederation. Vos
has a simple plan: assassinate the marshal, and manipulate his
generals to fight over his legacy, destroying each other in the
process. But another threat lurks: Arkarin Blackhawk. The smuggler
and mercenary has been the marshal's ally, working in the shadows
and unraveling Vos' plans. The governor can only hope the
mysterious adventurer continues to resist a formal position in the
Confederation. Or he can have Blackhawk assassinated, too. Because
with Blackhawk succeeding Lucerne, the black and gold imperial
flags will be stained red with blood. For his is a dark and
dangerous past, and if he is put at the helm of the Confederation
armies, the brutal imperial general he once had been may rise once
again. The Far Stars are facing the final battle. The Imperials
seem unstoppable. But if Blackhawk somehow survives-and can come to
grips with the horror deep within him-he just might be able to save
the Far Stars from the iron hand of empire.
The first installment in the Far Star series, a swashbuckling space
saga that introduces the daring pirate Blackhawk and the loyal crew
of the Wolf's Claw, from Jay Allan, the author of the bestselling
Crimson Worlds saga. Smuggler and mercenary Arkarin Blackhawk and
the crew of the ship Wolf's Claw are freelance adventurers who live
on the fringe of human society in the Far Stars. A veteran fighter
as deadly with a blade as he is with a gun, Blackhawk is a man
haunted by a dark past. Even his cynicism cannot banish the guilt
and pain that threaten his sanity. Sent to rescue the kidnapped
daughter of his longtime friend Marshal Augustin Lucerne, Blackhawk
and his crew find themselves drawn into one deadly fight after
another. When the Wolf's Claw is damaged, they are forced to land
on a remote planet subsumed by civil war. Pulled unwittingly into
the conflict, they uncover disturbing information about secret
imperial involvement that could upset the plans of Lucerne. For the
Marshal is determined to forge a Far Stars Confederation powerful
enough to eliminate all imperial influence and threats in the
sector. He needs a skilled warrior like Blackhawk on his side, but
the mercenary, plagued by dark memories from the past, refuses to
join the cause. All too soon, though, he and his crew will have to
take a stand.
The second book in Jay Allan's Far Star series, Enemy in the Dark,
follows Blackhawk and the crew of the Wolf's Claw as they are
gradually--and unwillingly--drawn more deeply into Marshal
Lucerne's campaign to form a united power bloc in the Far Stars to
resist imperial encroachment. Successfully completing their mission
to rescue Marshal Augustin Lucerne's daughter, Astra, the crew of
the Wolf's Claw are enjoying some well-deserved rest-all, that is,
except Blackhawk. The space gun for hire cannot escape Lucerne's
relentless pleas for help against growing imperial control in the
Far Stars. While Blackhawk deeply respects his friend, he fears
that the power Lucerne offers will lead him back to his old dark
ways. His resistance crumbles, however, when Lucerne presents
evidence that the imperial governor has been manipulating the
conflicts in the Far Stars. Convinced of the deadly danger of
imperial domination, Blackhawk and his crew board the Wolf's Claw
once more and set out to gather intelligence on the Empire's
movements-the proof Lucerne needs to unite the fractured and
feuding worlds of the Far Stars into single power bloc capable of
resisting imperial aggression. But deep in the sparsely populated
territory of the Far Stars, he discovers that the imperial
governor's machinations are far reaching-and threaten the
independence of every world this side of the Void. A man seemingly
running from himself, Blackhawk is beginning to realize he can no
longer remain a prisoner to his own past while the future of the
Far Stars is in jeopardy.
