SYNOPSIS

Something had flinched in the darkness. He scanned the scene, his eyes straining to penetrate the walls of rain and mist. Then he saw it, a giant form as pitch black as the night.

PROLOGUE

“Line them up!” The order echoed off the thick walls of the throne room.

Eight prisoners, handcuffed and blindfolded, were escorted in under the guard of the palace sentinels. The guards stood the prisoners side-by-side before the throne and then dropped to one knee in unison.

“As you wish, Emperor.”

PREFACE

The Unknown Hero is a story nine years in the making. The original concepts for many of the planets and characters came when I was twelve years old. Maybe two or three of those have survived to this final draft. The plot was secondary at first, gradually developing from the setting and characters.

AUTHOR'S SKETCHES

  • Midek face. Excerpt:

    Kiiyeepo waddled in, his giant eyes struggling to stay open. He was average for a Midek, almost two units shorter than Caltow with towering, pointed ears that equalized them. He was covered in thick fur, dark gray except for a lighter patch on the front of his chubby body. His giant arms and hands could nearly touch the floor, because of his short, squat legs.

NOTEBOOK DOODLES

  • Allanoi. Excerpt:

    Prodek gazed down at the beautiful, green globe the fleet was parked beside. He couldn’t help but imagine it as a young planet, unsullied.
