The Legend of the Black Guard series book 1: Quest For The Inviolable Man
Tragic events that lead to the death of billions have fractured the bond between mankind and the Horaxians, turning interstellar allies into bitter enemies. Now, Adcox, a young marine officer, is caught in a savage war that has lasted longer than he’s been alive. One that has broken the human condition, and flung a boy into a man’s world.
With the arrival of the greatest horror either race has ever witnessed, the inescapability of extinction forces humanity and their hated adversary to forge an unwanted alliance. Adcox and his team are tasked on a covert mission, where survival of all life hinges on them finding just one man…a knight of the deadly and mysterious Black Guard. He’s a man that none trusts, few believe is alive, but all agree that he is the most dangerous man in the universe.
The Black Guard takes you on an epic science fiction adventure of a young man’s battle against the enemy external and within, and his struggle to place his faith in a powerful warrior whose past is shrouded with both virtue and villainy.
Sci-fi fans will delight in this Starship Troopers meets The Lord of the Rings military science fantasy tale. The legend of the Black Guard…begins.

Miserable
This author never learned one of the golden rules of writing, show don’t tell. I really gave this one the old college try. I read half way through until I had to give up. The action is tiresome, the dialogue is riddled with ridiculous military jargon (I’m sure the author saw this stuff in a movie written by another guy who’d never served), the conflict is boring, and it’s full of blah blah blah. Why did I read so much of it knowing in the first few pages the deficiencies stated above. Because I want to like it. It liked the premise. But it all got to be to much and I had to writes this and get some closure.
The Black Guard
Really enjoyed it! Watch Kas Smith! Would love to see the story of Diomedes continued.
