Ebook: Last of the Chosen (Spirit of Empire, Book One)

A note from the author: Spirit of Empire is, at present, a three-book series. It might go to four books next year. Each book is twice as long as a standard novel, so you are getting excellent value along with a great story. I published Book One, Last of the Chosen, on Amazon in February 2011. Book Two, Knights of the Chosen, was released in July 2011. I am planning to release Book Three, Voice of the Chosen, around January 2012, though I make no promises on that date. The important thing is this: the first three books are written, so you do not risk investing yourself in a story that never reaches completion. Take the plunge: you will not regret it. The story: The Empire, hundreds of thousands of civilizations scattered across the galaxy, has been subtly invaded by the Chessori, diminutive creatures wielding a powerful mind weapon. No one can resist this terrible mind weapon, and the war is lost before anyone knows it began. Ellandra of the Chosen, the youngest and last surviving leader of the Empire, flees the Chessori. In desperation, she lands on a little-known emerging world called Earth where she is rescued by Mike Carver, an innocent bystander. In the process, he discovers that he and the people of Earth are immune to the mind weapon. Join Mike and Ellandra on their quest to restore the Empire to its former glory. Along the way they will enlist many others, including: •Otis, a Great Cat, the most lethal Protector in the Empire. •Jake, a Rider, an intelligent alien mass of protoplasm. If a person could be considered a commodity, Riders would be the single most valuable commodity in the Empire. Unfortunately for Mike, Riders can only survive inside a host body. •George, a nearly sentient artificial intelligence. •Krys, a young woman far across the galaxy who receives unwelcome visions of the future. She hears Ellandra’s call, but she is just an orphan. What can she do?
