The Honour of the Knights
The Battle for the Solar System : Book One

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 words of a dying man, the theft of a legendary battleship, and the threats posed by the Mitikas Empire's civil war were but a few of the concerns that plagued Simon Dodds' mind upon his return to naval service. What was far more disturbing was the amount of information he wasn't being given...

Across the other side of the known universe a terrible fate had befallen a once glorious imperial nation; a fate that dozens of governments throughout the galaxy were keen to keep secret for as long as possible.

But the danger was growing, and only a few months after his return Dodds would find his world, along with that of his old wingmates, flipped on its head. Very soon the five pilots would come face to face with that which destroyed an empire: an unforgiving, unstoppable, and totally unrelenting foe.

There seemed to exist only one glimmer of hope of driving back the darkness - The ATAF Project - a secretly developed set of starfighters that well may just harbour some terrible secrets of their own...

Purchasing Outside the UK

For those outside of the UK, it is recommended that you purchase your copy of the novel from The Book Depository, which will offer a much more reasonable and competitive price than other online retailers. It is still possible to buy other retailers, but keep in mind that the price may be quite high.
