Scout Series

Thrown into the past by ancient, alien technology, Master Scout Gavin Hart becomes a lost human colony's only hope for survival. But a power-hungry warlord and his army stand between Hart and the colony's salvation.   Hart discovers allies among the warlord's prisoners—royal guardsmen to a captive princess. But they're intent on rescuing their princess from the warlord's clutches, not stopping the invisible doom from Hart's warning. To save their world, Hart must save their princess first.   Every hero has his own heroes. For Scout legend David Rice, that hero was Gavin Hart. Join Hart on his greatest adventure and discover why David idolized him.

After crash landing on a long-lost colony world, Terran Scout David Rice's life got really tough.   Thrown from the space age to the steam age in the blink of an eye, David is drawn into a desperate battle to save the beautiful Princess Callan from treacherous air pirates and ruthless slavers. Trapped in a world of clashing swords, brutal savages, royal machinations, and desperate rescues, David's greatest battle is against his growing feelings for the betrothed Princess. With her life and the fate of two kingdoms hanging in the balance, which will David choose: love or honor?   Told in a relentlessly fast-paced style, Scout's Honor is an exciting homage to the classic tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett, as well as the cliffhanger-driven energy of the early science fiction movie serials. If you long for honorable heroes and feisty heroines, treacherous villains and loyal companions, get Scout's Honor and join David's journey!   Scout's Honor is exactly what I wanted: short chapters detonating like bombs, relentless pacing, far future action on alien worlds.
