Product Description

Product Description

Calvin, an intelligence operative, is sent to eliminate a dangerous traitor. But, as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game. One that threatens humankind everywhere.

If he is to uncover the conspiracy he must confront--and embrace--the darkest elements of the galaxy. And throw himself, his career, and everyone he loves into the line of fire.

The Phoenix Conspiracy is the first in a series of five books. It is available for free on almost every device including iTunes, Nook, and (usually) Kindle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stellar space chase 13 Sep 2011
By Discerning TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a cut above the rest of the free e-book brigade and the author shows definite promise. Captain Asari Raidan of the Imperial Starship Phoenix goes AWOL after attacking a seemingly innocent civilian convoy and Calvin Cross, the Commanding Officer of the IWS Nighthawk, is charged with finding him.This is a fluent, humorous read with only a few minor typos and I recommend snapping it up while it is still a free download. Definitely one for Star Trek fans. A sequel is on its way and I look forward to reading 'Betraying Nexus' and 'Civilization' when they are released.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful about the Sequel 5 Jan 2012
By Paulus
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent read and well formatted - can't believe it was free. A bit like Star Wars in style. A word of warning though. At the end of the book the author tells us a sequel is coming called The Phoenix Rising. I so enjoyed The Phoenix Conspiracy and wanted to know what happens next that I searched for The Pheonix Rising and bought a book of that same title but didn't notice the Author was different (Gary Caplan). Be warned, although this is also sci-fi it is not worth reading even if free (I paid over £6 for it and regret every penny).

Since writing this original review I have read the next two books in the series, each priced at nearly £5.00 (Kindle version). They are also excellent but be warned that you may be in it for the long haul if you get hooked as there is still no sign of a conclusion at the end of book three.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine piece of Science Fiction 22 Sep 2011
By S. Horrigan TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Calvin Cross is the young and gifted captain of one of Intel Wings finest phantom class stealth warships. When he is sent to try and recapture a rogue Fleet Captain who has stolen one of the Fleets most powerful warships he finds himself questioning the man's motives. Why would an exemplary Captain who had been decorated several times turn rogue? Discovering more and more clues Calvin has to risk everything for himself and his crew on a hunch that there is much more to this than he is being lead to believe.

Science Fiction is my first love in literature, and this book really is a fine piece of science fiction! At almost 9000 Kindle locations long, this is a long read, but the time flew by as I found myself turning page after page to find out the next twist in the plot.

Another review mentions that this book would be enjoyed by Star Trek fans, and I have to agree. In fact it reminded me quite a lot of the original Captain Kirk era Star Trek. The technology is not over done and there are no long descriptions of equipment or machines. The technology is really just the backdrop for a great story of command and duty. Characters are strong and believable and the interplay between them is one of the strengths of the book. It's not perfect and in some places the writing seems slightly flat, but I have read far worse by some of the top names in the field.

Kindle presentation is very good throughout with only one or two very minor formatting errors, which I have to say is a great achievement in such a long story.

Overall: I would like to give this story 4 and a half stars, but as I can't do that it will have to be 5 stars. It is probably the best self published "space opera" style science fiction story I have read and the fact that I read such a long book in just two days shows how much it drew me in to the story. I am looking forward to the next instalment and would happily pay for it! In fact I would have been happy to pay for this book!

It took me awhile to realise that this was set in the future. Its Startrek gone rogue. For someone who wouldn't read sci-fi I enjoyed it.
