Thus Falls the Shadow

Welcome to the Kwa system, where the light of three suns falls upon twenty worlds, and a giant cloud nebula dominates the skies. Where Will is just trying to make a living - until someone pushes him too far. Where everything and everyone can be bought and sold... ...until now. Ex-smuggler Will scratches out a living piloting a deep-space fishing boat over the vast sea of dust, but trouble is stirring in the outer reaches of the system and soon Will and his motley crew find themselves dragged into a conflict that could engulf every one of the Kwa worlds. Caught between the in-fighting gangsters who run the system and a rebellion by the native Kwa, Will has to balance his obsessive search for one man with his love for another. With great characters, snappy dialogue and plenty of humour, Thus Falls the Shadow is an action packed, free-wheeling adventure that you will love to read, likened by some reviewers to the adventures of Han Solo. Thus Falls the Shadow is set in an imagined future where swearing and violence are common, same-sex relationships are nothing unusual, and people still listen to the Spice Girls.
