Seanscéal means ‘old story.’ Like a parable, or a fable. Sharing a seanscéal is a way of getting around the Freeman not-waking-the-dead custom. Ciarán mac Diarmuid doesn’t break with custom lightly but he must, three times, violating unspoken law to explain:

How he won a posting to the Freeman Merchant Academy.

How he and his cat, the mong hu Wisp, first met.

How he learned the Iron Rule and the enduring cost of that lesson.

It’s no small thing, waking the dead. But when the price of ignorance is measured in lives? Someone has to speak up.

What Readers Are Saying:

A story that kept building throughout, and got its hooks into me early. Really enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next one!

Fast paced action, fresh plot and interesting science that does not get in the way of the story. I am hooked.

Quite Possibly Alien is simply the best piece of sci-fi I’ve read since I finished the Vorkosigan saga.

One Reader Sums it Up:

Wow!

Blast Off for Adventure

The Freeman Universe Series launches strong and keeps building momentum. The action is nonstop and propulsive, and what might seem a detail mentioned in passing may well turn out to be the hidden key to unlocking a story as expansive as the stars. Keep reading, because the journey has just begun.

The series is meant to be read in order. The action in Book 2 kicks in where Book 1 leaves off without slowing down and without circling back to cover old ground. And Book 3 takes off from there on a three-stage launch that never lets up.

Fans of golden age masters like Andre Norton and Robert Heinlein will find a lot to love. Fans of dystopian fiction may not. The Freeman Universe series is science fiction for a new golden age; one where heroes fight the death-spiral future they’ve inherited from page one. They’re going to fix the world or die trying.

The battle begins here. Are you up for the fight?

Join the crew now. Because it’s going to be epic.

One human. Six legs. All hero.

Merchant Academy grad Ciarán mac Diarmuid wants to do well by doing good. But when he rescues a mysterious stranger from foreign assassins no respectable merchant captain will hire him.

On a superluminal mission of epic proportions. 

Now Ciarán must apprentice himself to the black sheep of the powerful nic Cartaí clan, a young woman who is almost certainly a pirate, aboard a sentient starship that is almost certainly insane, on a mission that will almost certainly get both him and his cat killed.

Across a galaxy more dangerous than anyone imagines.

Ciarán has no idea he has been chosen. Any competent human may win a merchant’s license. And any interstellar vessel will do. But it will take more than two legs and a pair of opposable thumbs to liberate the galaxy and see justice done.

It will take the heart of a tiger. And of the champion who walks beside her.
