Roman doesn’t know that he is Prince Sakara, heir apparent of the True Emperor of a distant galaxy and his muggers are agents, sent to kill him.
Roman’s life is saved by Chi-Ro Jin, a Veteran of the Psychic Wars. Chi-Ro’s mission is to secure Roman’s help in an interstellar battle between the forces of his father, the Emperor, and those of his uncle, the Baron.
Chi-Ro injects Roman with an alien drug that awakens Roman’s dormant psychic and astral abilities and he discovers a shocking alien plot that threatens humanity. Will Roman be able to overcome his fears, master the martial art of Hatari Ikou, and learn the secrets of astral projection?
Follow this epic journey to the Cosmic Sea where Roman faces evil and danger in uncharted space, as he attempts to rescue his wife, retrieve the sword of power, and end the Second Psychic Wars.
Reviews:
"This is a great book! The actions starts in the first paragraph and doesn’t stop until the last with no slowing down." ~ Tony-Paul ('A Splash of Scarlet' Blog).
"‘Star Wars’ meets ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ is a fine description of Veterans of the Psychic Wars, as long as you realize that the hero isn’t a wimp like Luke Skywalker and that the amazing warriors of Crouching Tiger would be toast before this story hits its stride." ~ Clayton Clifford Bye (Professional Reviewer).
"‘Veterans of the Psychic Wars’ is a ‘heroic mono-myth’ as described by Joseph Campbell in his book ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’; as such, fans of ‘Star Wars’, ‘The Matrix’, or ‘Dune’ should enjoy it. I highly recommend this book." ~ The Dark (Smashwords Reviewer)
“Veterans of the Psychic Wars was a real thrill to read… It has everything a good story should have with various sub-plots, conflicted characters, interesting twists and edge-of the seat alien encounters.” ~ Sonya Iovieno (Amazon Reviewer)
"I highly recommend this book if you are a Sci-fi lover for it has everything you are looking for; Star Wars meets Enter the Dragon. Be prepared to be hanging off the edge of your seat wanting more." ~ Rayven ('Darkiss Reads' Blog).
“This is a well written and well thought out book… [It has] some of the imperialistic feel of Dune (Frank Herbert), the ideas from the Matrix (training within dream worlds), the Primes within the Talents (Anne McCaffrey), and the technology of Babylon 5 and Star Wars.” ~ Mike Thompson (Amazon Reviewer)
“I was thrilled to come across Veterans of the Psychic Wars. It really is a sweeping, old style space opera in form, but with a depth of detail and personality development beyond anything I have read in a long time… The evolving personal interactions, not always positive, between friends, mentors and ambiguous allies old and new all serve to ground the narrative convincingly. It also has to be said, the ultimate enemies here are stomach-churningly gruesome.” ~ Oana (Amazon Reviewer)

Excellent read!
I loved this book! Quick moving story with enough twists, intrigue and grand tale.
A well-crafted sci-fi
One thing that really struck me as I read this book was how much thought went into this universe and characters. The action starts right from the beginning of the story as guy-next-door Roman Doyle is viciously attacked by an unusual and ruthless gang in the streets of London. I was hooked pretty quickly and enjoyed the fast pace and interesting details that brought the story to life. As the complicated history is revealed the strange events started making sense and the adventure really took off.
Each character plays a unique role and I enjoyed getting to know them. By chapter 17 I already feared for Soraya, felt for Roman, enjoyed Chi-Ro’s perspective, dreaded encountering the Asing or Brakis Tarn, was intrigued by Nuri, and interested to know more about Zachary’s history. In my haste to see what would happen next, because of the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, I often didn’t realize how long I had been reading. I honestly couldn’t put this book down. I also found myself laughing out loud at some of the things Chi-Ro said and even quoting him later.
Everything about this book screams creative, intelligent and well developed. The glossary at the end was extremely helpful in understanding this complex world. With likable characters and beautiful/fascinating sceneries I truly felt transported into this book and eagerly await a continuation of the story.
