The first volume of an epic new science fiction trilogy. Constantine Blas, Captain of a Federation Battlecruiser, is imprisoned when the sole surviving allied fleet is defeated by the religious fanatics of Axia. But Blas is not without friends. During the journey to the prison planet Nabucco I, a small group of rebels helps him to escape. Together with two other escaped prisoners, he begins to plan the fightback.

The new rebellion begins to win victories. More and more recruits clamor to join the fight for their freedom. Even the mysterious and powerful Orphexians, with the power of mental control, come to their aid. One of them is the beautiful and enigmatic Evelyn. A girl whose mind has the power to enrapture any man’s heart. Or to destroy it.

Constantine Blas forms a strong bond with Evelyn, and together they become a vital part of the spearhead of the new rebellion. Sword of Axia is a lavish tale of battle and catastrophe where freedom is the prize. A story of heroes and cowards. A story of beautiful women and the men who would covet them. A saga of treachery, betrayal, ambition and power that takes place with fleets of ships that clash in the blackness of space. Yet ultimately it is a story as old as life itself. A story of one man's fight for justice in a corrupt and despotic universe.
