Product Description

Product Description

When starfighter pilot Simon Dodds is enrolled in a top secret military project, he and his wingmates begin to suspect that there is a lot more to the theft of a legendary battleship and an Imperial nation's civil war than either the Confederation Stellar Navy or the government are willing to let on. Within weeks of being reassigned to the Confederate border system of Temper, the five would begin to untangle a web of lies and a cover-up that seemed to span the length of the entire galaxy. And it would not be long before they themselves would come face to face with that which destroyed an empire: an unforgiving, unstoppable, and totally unrelenting foe. There seemed to exist only one glimmer of hope of driving back the darkness: The ATAF Project - a secretly developed set of starfighters that may well just harbour some terrible secrets of their own.


From the Publisher

The debut novel from Stephen J Sweeney, a thrilling and action packed space opera in the making, influenced by all time classic science fiction series, such as BABYLON 5, STAR WARS, AND BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (TOS).

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad SF debut, 7 Sep 2009
By N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Advertised as having an appeal to those who enjoyed "Babylon 5, Star Wars and Battlestar Gallactica (tos)" this is a space actioner with a fair bit of characterisation thrown in.
The focus is on a small team of pilots who are trained up on a secret star-fighter, only to not quite make the grade for further testing, only to find circumstance will put them back in the cockpits once more.....
The environment is somewhat confusing with two space Empires at odds with each-other (one of whom is going through a civil war) and it took me a while to work out the background as to who was who.
Then we have secrets and conspiracies as we realise there is more to the secret star fighters and the bad guys then we suspected......
Not bad and one has to admire a self published novel. This works better at the sharp end with fully rounded characters who do have personalities and flaws but is weaker in conveying the bigger picture. It's a nice book, with an eye-catching cover but probably a little bit expensive for what you are getting. So overall this is okay, not spectacular page turning stuff but solid, reasonably well written and dependable SF reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Captivating Debut, 5 Jul 2009
By A. van Kaam - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For a first time and self published novel, The Honour of the Knights is in my opinion a great success. During the story you will follow the adventures of a group of 5 star fighter pilots who get selected to prove their worth to test the Confederation Stellar Navy greatest and latest fighter, however next to the big story there are enough little side steps to keep it interesting and to make the reader clear that much larger things are going on, with this in your mind you keep going back for just a little bit more.

The story speeds up and slows down wonderfully throughout the book which makes it an enjoyable read.

New characters are introduced all through the book, some more important then others but the introduction is never to long or to short but just enough so you know where they are coming from. They are often used to give some information from a totally difrent point of view and I have to say that works rather well.

All in all it was a very enjoyable read and I hope it will be a big enough success so the author will release book 2 and 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 9 Aug 2009
By G. Compton "Bookaholic" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not the biggest Sci-fi fan in the world, however I got my teeth into this book and was entertained all the way though it. It's well written and I wouldnt have known it was self published. It's as good as any book I've read recently. Well done and long may it continue.
