‘There’s always someone more powerful than you—and if you are the most powerful one, there’s a thousand just below you with the sole purpose of taking you down.’
Daler Tait is the youngest of three sons of a mining mogul on a desert planet in the far reaches of the galaxy. He has big ambitions and little patience, but to please his parents, he plans to apply to the Academy of Virtuous Knowledge.
But when his father is murdered, his plans crumble like sandcastles. Daler swears to find the killer and avenge his father. He seeks help from a galactic criminal organisation and is soon light-years from home, learning the ways of the underworld. A botched mission provides a lead to his father’s murderer.
For a moment, revenge tastes sweet, but soon the aftertaste turns bitter. Little by little, his fortunes fade, businesses turn sour and people… well, people die. There's blood on the sand, blood in the vacuum of space, and blood on his hands.
A ghost from the past is after him, and will not rest before Daler’s demise. On the verge of paranoia, with little to win and the universe to lose, Daler must face his tormentor.
Sometimes death isn’t the worst outcome.
Crooked Stars takes you on a fantastic ride across the galaxy, from dry sands of Runcor, via the stillness of Poorelline Nebula and the greenery of Eura, to the smut of Spit City.
If you like shady folks on galactic escapades, you’ll love this thought-provoking novel.
