In a distant part of space in some unknown epoch, humanity has spread across the stars. With access to wondrous technology like the tidal drive that allows for interstellar travel – albeit not without cost – peace has been won after long years of conflict. The architect of that peace was the swashbuckling Captain Ajax, a hero and a legend. But now Captain Ajax has died, leaving his daughter and only heir, Emily, to grapple with his legacy.
The petulance of a spoiled princess opens the door to a galactic conspiracy, and sets the scene for a new conflict in the troubled Four Quadrants. Emily Ajax has a lot to live up to, but in command of her father’s famous ship, The Sunskimmer, she may have the potential to become a hero of even greater renown than him.
About the author
Thomas Heasman-Hunt is a writer and ‘noisy boy’ (E Heasman-Hunt, 2015). He’s been creating fiction since he was old enough to do different voices for his toys, with varying degrees of success. In 2012, emboldened by the world not ending, he began writing short stories and has rebuffed all attempts at being stopped.From his masses of fiction came literally several publishable works, of which his Cynefin debut is just one. He lives in Cambridgeshire with his wife, Emma, and their tortoise, Meat Pie, but can also be found on the internet shouting ineffectually about various progressive causes. When not writing he tries, like many large mammals, to split his time equally between sleeping and eating.
He specialises in genre fiction, particularly speculative fiction, but has also turned his hand to contemporary and literary fiction. A prolific and passionate writer, Thomas is constantly updating his blog with new content.
