An abandoned colony world harbours a deadly secret that threatens all humanity. A generation ago, an unknown force wiped out the Earth outpost at Mu Arae. Then they mysteriously vanished, never to be heard from again. Or did they? When disgraced officer Hayden Kaine is exiled to an outdated military starship stationed on the fringes of the galaxy, his biggest worry is how he can rescue his career. But after the vessel is trapped in the quarantined star system, survival becomes his only concern. With the crippled ship hunted by a relentless enemy, Kaine unexpectedly finds himself thrust into the captain's seat; a role for which he is not ready, and which most of the surviving crew do not accept. While the enemy amasses an invasion force that will overwhelm the unsuspecting Grand Terran Confederation, Kaine must stave off a mutiny long enough to warn Earth of the danger. If he fails, the empire will fall and humanity will be doomed to extinction by a foe whose existence defies the laws of physics. If you love the science fiction of Rick Partlow, Scott Bartlett, or Jay Allan, try D.M. Pruden's rousing space opera adventure, Kaine's Sanction, the first book in the Shattered Empire series.
He only wanted to save humanity... They are coming and scattered humanity has no defence... Human civilization is in chaos. With the collapse of the interstellar jump network, the empire has no defence against the approaching Malliac horde.Hayden Kaine and the crew of the Scimitar discover an alien relic that offers one final hope. Faced with a terrible dilemma, they risk everything in a last-ditch effort to prevent the extinction of the human race. But when everything goes horribly wrong, the existence of the universe itself may be the price to pay for meddling with technology beyond their understanding.
An empire has fallen, and civilization tears itself apart.But there is a way to restore it all.Ten years ago, the Malliac invasion was averted, but at the cost of humanity's interstellar transit network. Trapped at the edge of human-occupied space, Hayden Kaine languishes in guilt and regret over his role in dooming a thousand worlds to permanent isolation. Then, after being lost for a decade, his old ship and crew mysteriously reappear, bringing with them an alien technology. Kaine seizes the opportunity to rejoin his companions in the hope they can repair the damage that has been done and restore the empire. But Scimitar holds the key to an even more valuable secret, one which is coveted by many powerful men and places the lives of his companions in danger. With time running out, Kaine must decide who he can trust, otherwise, not only will his friends be doomed, but the galaxy will be plunged into a civil war that will cost billions of lives.
On Account of Darkness is a fictionalized story (based on real events) of the 1934 Ontario amateur baseball season, when the Chatham Coloured All Stars were accepted to play in the Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) Intermediate B provincial playoffs, breaking the colour barrier over a decade before Major League Baseball did.The All Stars had to battle issue after issue - umpiring that was inconsistent at best, racist taunts from opposing players and fans, and bureaucratic bungling from the OBA - in order to reach the finals. Their opponent was a team from tiny Penetanguishene, a southern Georgian Bay resort town. Penetang was led by pitcher Phil Marchildon, who would go on to star for the American League's Philadelphia Athletics. Chatham's best player was first baseman Boomer Harding, who later became the first player of colour in the International Hockey League.On Account of Darkness draws its name from the controversial third game of the best of three series that was played on a grey late October afternoon with winter threatening. This is more than just a baseball story; it is an account of one team's battle to overcome racism, and the struggle by everyone involved to escape the clutches of the Depression.It was a summer which the players and fans of both teams would never forget.
In the summer of 1932, Cincinnati Reds Manager Dan Howley sent his star slugger, Chick Hafey, to recuperate from a nasty bout of influenza and to escape a brutal Midwest heatwave. Hafey and his wife Bernice traveled to Port McNicoll, Ontario, a Great Lakes grain, passenger, and freight shipping hub. The Hafeys stayed at the home of Jim Shaw, an old fishing buddy of Howley's from his days managing the minor league Toronto Maple Leafs. In the two weeks Hafey spent in the small Georgian Bay town, he rediscovered his health, and went on to play in more games over the next two seasons than he did at any other point in his career. Readers' praise of D.M. Fox's first book, On Account of Darkness: the Summer Ontario Baseball Broke the Colour Barrier: "A well-researched piece of literature that uses a reporting technique of newspaper clippings and interviews to recount the story of the 1934 all-Ontario Baseball final series between the Penetanguishene Spencer Foundry Rangers and the Chatham All-Stars in a 2 out-of-3 series of games. A must-read for any baseball fan " RTAP, Vancouver Island "Doug did an amazing job telling this story. He was thorough and thoughtful in the way he recounted this historic time period. His work is factually based and very well researched. This is a must read for any baseball buff in North America" Brent Cardy, Ontario
