A Sword Into Darkness

In addition to my well-known love of military thrillers, I’ve been a huge fan of science fiction since I was old enough to register for my first library card.  (If you don’t know what a library card is, ask someone older than you.  For my money, library cards are still pretty damned cool.)  But I digress…

Military thrillers and sci-fi.  Like peanut butter and chocolate, I’d be hard put to decide which one I love more.  Luckily, there are a handful of writers out there who know how to combine these two wonderfully explosive ingredients into a single delectable confection that goes to the sweet spot in my brain waaaaaaay faster than a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

My long-time friend and old shipmate, Tom Mays, just happens to be such a writer.  His first novel, A Sword Into Darkness, just went on sale and—trust me—it’s everything that a military sci-fi story should be, and then some.

I practically had to beg, borrow, and steal to lure Tom into the Stealth Books lineup.  I’m happy that he eventually gave into the dark side of the force, because Sword is the best space combat novel I’ve ever read, bar none.  If you’re even half as big a fan of military science fiction as I am, this book is going to knock your socks into the freaking asteroid belt.

A Sword Into Darkness is now available on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon.com.
