An adventure across space and time!

“The writing style is crisp, the book is well edited and contains a healthy splash of hard science mixed in with a nice story line (new discoveries, alien aggressors, a military in need of leadership and a bad guy you'll love to hate)... This offering does not disappoint.” ~ LawBoss

While on maneuvers as part of the Panhelion Defense Command fleet near the moons of Jove, Scott Drumond, captain of the Strike Cruiser Targelion, finds his promising career unexpectedly blighted by events that nearly destroy his starship and dramatically change his fortunes. Scott’s nemesis arranges his court martial on trumped-up charges, and the court finds him guilty.

Scott accepts temporary captaincy of the scout corvette Pegasus with the hope of restoring his honor and permanent rank. His assignment turns out to be anything but routine when, upon reaching the anomaly, he and his crew encounter a startling distortion in space-time that creates a barrier to material objects. With the first part of his mission complete, he opens sealed orders and learns of scheming and deception in the highest levels of the Panhelion.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in the “Panhelion Chronicles.” This military science fiction series features space travel, time warps, alien contact, and war on a grand galaxy scale. [DRM-Free]

About the Author

AUTHOR: In my early years I devoured science fiction and fantasy. Later my tastes moved to classic adventure stories written by Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Jack London. My passion for writing came late in life, and only after much encouragement from family and friends who read many of my stories. At Georgetown University I studied German and German literature. That led to an assignment in the Air Force intelligence services in Europe. With those experiences behind me, I returned to the US and the University of Wyoming. My undergraduate and graduate Engineering studies were heavy in advanced physics and mathematics. Upon graduating I taught German and Electrical Engineering at the US Air Force Academy. I mustered out of the Air Force to start a career in high tech start-up companies. Ultimately, I retired and began a third career as a writer. I now live in Southern California, where I spend my time writing when I'm not indulging my passions for sailing, skiing, and reading. I invite you to join me and my characters, both good and evil, as we explore strange places on our journeys through the stars.

EDITOR: Lane Diamond has over 130 published books to his editing credit, including many multiple award-winners, across many genres and styles.

Surprisingly Good--This one is a keeper

Reviewed in the United States on 20 September 2015

Verified Purchase

Don't let the price of the read discourage your purchase--the writing style is crisp, the book is well edited and contains a healthy splash of hard science mixed in with a nice story line (new discoveries, alien aggressors, a military in need of leadership and a bad guy you'll love to hate). While there are some fleet battles--if you're looking for hardcore action, this might not be your cup of tea. If you're looking for a well told story with plenty of length, good descriptive prose, solid editing, adventure, and some action--this offering does not disappoint. I look forward to purchasing the sequel which will come out in the Spring.

Great first novel!

Really good first novel. Started a little slow, but picked up the pace quickly. I am eagerly awaiting the next novel in the series. I would recommend this to anyone who is into science fiction with a technical twist and immersed in future reality.

Burial Shroud of Eden

Reviewed in the United States on 10 April 2017

Verified Purchase

Shroud of Eden is a Space Opera of the highest order... once you get to the 65% mark. Prior to that, this is a glacially slow story.

A disgraced starship captain is court marshalled on trumped up charges to hide a faulty decision made by his commanding Admiral. Scott Drumond is appointed as commanding officer aboard a five-man scout ship tasked with investigating an anomaly in deep space.

This provides the means for Drumond to return home to confront the nefarious admiral who has staged a coup, taking over the ruling senate and making himself a dictator.

This character driven novel is actually quite good, but like I stated, the first half + is quite boring and slow in my estimation. Much of the dialogue is a bit dated and stilted. You'll learn quite a few new words, many of them archaic. If you have a dictionary with your e-reader, you'll be a step ahead.

The ending is quite sucky (?) but there promises to be a sequel. There is action, romance, betrayal, murder and a quasi-alien invasion to contend with.
The bit about the time shield is odd. The fact that a ship goes into the future and returns has absolutely zero bearing on the story. None at all. It could have been left out. The author could have just explained it as a portal to a parallel universe and it would have been enough.

Editing is good with only a couple of synonym switch errors. Far less than usual.

I really liked the second half of the book, other than the ending... it could have been much better. I didn't like it enough to buy the sequel, though.
