The Dark Side
A WORLD'S DEATH CRY!
The space-distress call had sent Aaron Denton racing to his home planet of St. Paul. Yet long before he reached that sector of space, his world had died. Some had escaped the cataclysm that destroyed so many innocent lives. Some were the ruthless killes who had cold-bloodedly slain helpless women and children to insure their own places aboard the few spaceworthy ships left on St. Paul. Now Aaron had no qualms about using any means - inside the law or out - to track down and claim vengeance on their leader, the man who had given the order to fire and then abandoned St. Paul and its people to a terrifying doom.

Love to pick up random pulp sci-fi fantasy at op shops.
This was a hidden gem. Easy quick read. Interesting and believable world
Feels like main character makes decisions at the end to appease the title of the book.
Not ground breaking but an enjoyable read none the less.

Pleasantly enjoyable and quick read. I liked the character development of the main character (I forget his name), especially with how he has to deal with a particular situation towards the end of the book.
The love plotline felt kinda forced and the ending was kinda lame, I would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't so happily ever after

When a planetary distress is received, the commercial freighter Hendron Messinger is nearly out of range. What happens next changes many lives and that, fellow readers is the story. This venture is set in the established universe set forth is other books my Hugh Zachary, including Gold Star.
Some very fun points used, including that very fine invention by Billy Bob Blink.
