The Sky Full of Stars 

The Sky Full of Stars is the first volume in the Stars Trilogy. Set in a mini ice age following a Middle Eastern nuclear war, a hostile theocratic European regime called the Gaians are determined to wipe Democracy from the Earth forever.Only the development of a new Star Drive technology, and the actions of a small group of pilots can stem their thirst for dominance. But will the price be too great for even the once mighty States and Provinces of a United North America or even the world? When even the pilots themselves become the most precious resource?Laced throughout with the authors characteristic dark humour, this volume is the genesis of a decade spanning and epic tale of war and personal redemption.
