A young, ambitious Fleet Commander learns the truth of his people’s ancestry. However, this information comes at a price—a high price—when he is asked to give up his command and leave his home at Colony One to lead a group of separatists. Unbeknownst to him, an organization known as the Black Gate Society has been trying to cover the truth for a century and they will stop at nothing to keep that truth hidden.
Raised in the beautiful mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado, Joe Nicholson now lives with his beautiful California girl and bride, Bonnie, in Northern Colorado. In 2006, he graduated from Adams State College (a small university in Alamosa, Colorado) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Composition. By day, he’s a mild-mannered (yeah, right!) banker and by night, a father, a writer, a musician, a composer, an RPG gamer, a mean video game player and a masked vigilante (not really, but he does own several Superman shirts). He loves Sci-Fi and Fantasy, still reads comic books, has an impressive Star Wars book collection, an unmatched knowledge of Star Wars trivia, has been watching Star Trek since he was in diapers, loves going to the park to read with his wife, HATES sparkly vampires, LOVES Superman, and volunteers every year at StarFest, a Sci-Fi Convention in Denver, Colorado.
