Book Description
================
From the author of the bestselling 'Night's Dawn Trilogy', a new space
adventure on galactic scale. Born in a colony world in 2310, Lawrence
Newton hankered after the golden era of starships exploring the galaxy.
But the age of human starflight was drawing to a close, so this hot-heated
teenager ran away from home in search of adventure... Twenty years later,
he's the sergeant of a washed-out platoon taking part in the bungled
invasion of another world. The giant corporations euphemistically call
such campaigns 'asset realization', but in practice it's simple piracy.
While he's on the ground, being shot at and firebombed by local resistance
forces, Lawrence hears stories about the Temple of the Fallen Dragon
-- and a sect devoted to the worship of a mythical creature that fell
to the ground millennia ago. More importantly, its priests are said
to guard a hoard of treasure large enough to buy lifelong happiness
-- which information prompts him to mount a private-enterprise operation
of his own. For Lawrence, such wealth would allow him one last chance
to put right the mistakes of his past -- and finally go home. But, unfortunatel-
y, treasure isn't always measured in monetary terms. And just because
something is called mythical doesn't mean it isn't real...
