ADVENTURE BEYOND THE STARS

Jayce Artan is a dock rat on a poor fringe world where he takes every job he can and prize-fights to earn enough money to get off world. When he's hired to guide a boat crewed by an interstellar mafia, he comes face to face with an ancient power--the Veil--that was pivotal to a civil war that ended decades ago.

Jayce is "Attuned" to this power and was almost killed by agents of the dead and defeated Tyrant who nearly enslaved the galaxy. He's rescued by an Adept of the Paragon order, warrior scholars that study the power and seek to keep any from upsetting the balance that keeps all life in order.

Jayce is given the chance to journey beyond the Veil and into another dimension where he can claim a stone of immense power and return it to base reality and wield it as a weapon against the Tyrant. The world beyond the Veil is nothing like what Jayce knows, and he'll be opposed by insidious evil, self-doubt, and sabotage from the very people who are supposed to help him.

While beyond the Veil, Jayce learns that a Conjunction is nigh, an event that could sunder the galaxy if evil forces succeed. Jayce must claim a Veil stone deep in the other dimension before the Tyrant's agents can beat him to the prize.

Praise for Light of the Veil / Shattered Star Legacy:

"A rockstar return to downright fun storytelling in the timeless fashion of a thrilling star epic. Fox takes you right to a galaxy far, far away where smuggler pilots live by that cold blaster in their glove and a greasy, hot rod starship only they are proudest of. Everything and everybody is against a kid with nothing but a chance to take who might just be the hero a galactic civilization on the edge needs right now. Strange. Fantastic. Thrilling. Total Fun." --Nick Cole, best-selling author of The Old Man and the Wasteland and CTRL ALT Revolt

"The action grabs you from page one and never lets go. A true masterpiece written by one of the best!" --Johnathan Yanez, USA Today best-selling author of Forsaken Mercenary and Galactic Guardians series

"Richly imagined and far-flung, with a gritty realism that can only come from firsthand military experience. Imagine Heinlein and Lucas meeting in a bar. This is the kind of story they'd have written--explosive, action-packed high adventure, an epic battle between good and evil, and characters you root for every step of the way. Grab a copy--you might just find your new favorite series." --Lisa Richman, author of the Enfield Genesis series
