Fiction, Science Fiction

In the sprawling, anarchic aftermath of a galactic empire's collapse, Space Viking plunges us into a universe where interstellar travel is common but central authority is a distant memory. Our protagonist, Lucas Trask, a nobleman from a civilized planet, sees his life upended by a brutal act of betrayal. Fuelled by a desire for vengeance against the murderer of his bride, Trask forsakes his peaceful existence, commandeering a starship and assembling a crew of hardened spacefarers. His quest leads him to the perilous 'Outworlds,' a lawless frontier populated by rogue planets and cutthroat buccaneers. What begins as a personal vendetta against a single man soon escalates, drawing Trask into the larger, more complex tapestry of galactic politics and the desperate struggle to rebuild civilization from the ashes of chaos.
