And a Bullet Screamed Through the Sky — Adrian P
The 28th Century celebrates seven hundred years of The Crowned Confederacy's rule over mankind and its space colonies.
Author Adrian P. presents The Silent Assassin, a dark space opera series full of schemes and intrigues. While still presenting explosive battles and sci-fi galore, the series explores in depth the philosophy and psychology of its characters--pulling readers into thought-provoking situations which would test their existing values, and how much philosophical flexibility they're willing to endure.
AND A BULLET SCREAMED THROUGH THE SKY
Peace enforced by The Crowned Confederacy's hegemony over mankind is under attack. The Galactic Economic Crisis pushed many colonial worlds into recession, and layers of societies descended into chaos.
Audi Prabian is a young mercenary living a life of solitude. Unlike others in his line of work, he prefers a subtle and cunning approach to completing missions. His skills will be tested when a sniper tries to assassinate The Prime Minister. His job is to protect the latter and hunt the former.
Horlix Aurellus Leonard-Tanuya is a benevolent Crown Prince, who seeks to ensure the welfare of his poorest and most oppressed subjects. When his lover, Henrietta, was brutally murdered by a mercenary, he must jump into a web of political intrigues to search for the culprit.
The two protagonists' journeys will bring to light humanity's true nature and the inherent corruption of their stellar societies. Power. Egotism. Envy. Vengeance. Technologically-advanced and politically powerful enemies await their paths. Can Audi hunt and defeat the sniper? Will Horlix ever discover Henrietta's murderer?
