The Fear Of Death

Four planets destroyed. Three galactic empires. Two unlikely allies. One obvious enemy.


Three superpowers collide at the TriStar Border. It is ten years since the Kerradite War ended. The Manadine Empire, reeling from its first defeat in more than 3000 years, has apparently unleashed a terrifying new weapon. Four planets are destroyed in a matter of minutes and the balance of power has suddenly shifted.


Old hatreds have always died harder than the people that created them but the Manadine Empire itself is in turmoil. The emperor lies dead, slain by an ancient curse, and the heir to the Purple Throne is plagued by dreams that foreshadow death and destruction should he become emperor. For Prince Tusmak the choice is as simple as it is difficult: save his empire or save himself...


As the galaxy heads for another catastrophic war the TriStar Border becomes the playground of spies and assassins seeking profit, and warriors seeking revenge.


A blend of science fiction and fantasy, The Fear Of Death is a character-driven tale of politics, betrayal, revenge, and sacrifice where there is only one truth: if you want to live, don't be afraid to die.
