Overview

"They are definitely trying to cover something up. Something really bad's happened over there and they don't want people to find out about it... But I ain't saying any more. I heard they killed the last guy who went around gossiping..."

-- Unidentified pilot at Spirit Naval Base

Synopsis

The warnings of a dying man, the theft of an enormous battleship, and the increasing threat of civil war were but a few of the worrying facts presented to Simon Dodds upon his return to naval service. But what was more disturbing was the amount of information he wasn't being given...

Across the other side of the known galaxy a truly terrible fate had befallen a once glorious imperial nation; a fate that the Confederation, along with dozens of allied Independent Worlds, were eager to keep secret for as long as possible.

Plot

Set in the 27th century, The Honour of the Knights follows a group of five starfighter pilots as they begin to uncover the reasons behind the theft of a powerful battleship, the fate of the Mitikas Empire, and a cover up of truly galactic proportions.

And then there are the ATAFs: a set of five incredibly powerful starfighters that appear not only to be the key to stopping the darkness spreading, but may also harbour some terrible secrets of their own.

Along the way lives will be lost, friends will be made, and truths will be revealed.

Audience

This book is aimed at young adults, although older readers will also find much to enjoy in the pages.
