About Ganwold’s Child (The Sergey Chronicles Book 1):
“A boy raised by savages comes of age in the midst of interstellar war—fast action and characters you can care about.” — David Drake, author of Hammer’s Slammers
Darcie was taking her young child Tristan to rejoin her husband Lujan in the Enach system when nonhuman slavers attacked and captured their transport. Darcie escaped with Tristan in a lifepod and touched down on Ganwold, a primitive planet controlled by their long-time enemy. Unfortunately, due to a malfunction in the lightskip drive, they’d also accidentally jumped several years forward in time and can’t expect to be rescued, so Tristan grows to manhood hiding among the alien ganan.
But when Darcie contracts a lingering, life-threatening illness, Tristan and his gan “brother” Pulou set out on a quest to find the father Tristan never knew, and they are faced with technology they’ve never seen. Captured and turned over to the Sector General, Tristan is used as a bargaining chip in the ongoing war.
Now Admiral Lujan Sergey must figure out a way to counter the impending attack, while realizing he could lose the family he’s just learned is still alive.
“This novel is exemplary for showing how the effective military mind really works—you’ll find no romantic military nonsense here.” — Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game
