The Falcon Banner 1. Falcon Banner

If you like SciFi like Asimov and Heinlein wrote, this story will rock you.  Detective Inspector Darien Taine of Terran Sec has just successfully completed a case.  He is paid a deadly visit by two Amsus Inquisitors who have declared him a member of the 5th Column and sentenced to immediate execution.  He escapes with luck, some friendly help and a stolen spaceship with an inadvertent passenger.  He stays one step ahead of the Amsus Hegemony who have ruled this region of space for several hundred years after the fall of the Imperial empire.  Along the way he makes friends, saves lives, battles the Amsus, discovers lost technology, faces betrayal and becomes a hero. And that is only in the first part of the story!

The author has created a great cast of characters to which you can bond to.  The plot is both interesting and exciting.  This is a wonderful story I enjoyed very much. I recommend you read this, even if SciFi is not your favourite genre.  It is that good!

Fantastic, gripping story! It was fun, with a start that would remind a Star Wars fan of a Han Solo adventure, then a little gritty like the old Babylon 5, with a bit of unknown adventure like the current Expanse series... all rolled into a very original and addictive story that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

Wonderful story that should be told to the sci-fi world. Exceptionally crafted, its safe to say its a masterpiece. A must read for sci-fi lovers.

This was a fantastic story. Loved the SciFi elements, and the world that was created. Excellent work.

I will say, the story tags don't describe the whole story.
