From the Ashes
There is fire in Yosh’s veins. He feels it whenever he looks at the stars. Living with his grandfather on an obscure, but peaceful slave colony isn’t enough anymore. During daytime Yosh is a model of obedience (mostly). At night, he sneaks off to the band of smugglers he’s befriended, his only link to the universe beyond the deceitfully serene skies.
One day Yosh's only concerns are to avoid trouble with the local imperial guard and to endear himself with the lovely smuggler Assai, the next he becomes the target of a man only heard of in banned books and frightened whisperings about rebellion.
The name Mikail Munov strikes fear and hate in the hearts of all humans throughout the imperial worlds. So why is the Head of the Arkanian Secret Police interested in Yosh and his unassuming grandfather?
Why does he jump his massive flagship in orbit above Yosh’s home-planet?
Why land hundreds of crack troops in the small, dingy agrarian settlement?
Why carve a path of torture and murder through the locals in a frantic search?
Yosh will need his smarts, every trick he ever learned, and a boatload of help from his smuggler friends if he’s to survive and uncover the truth of the events engulfing him.
If you like action, adventure, and military sci-fi, then grab a copy of “From The Ashes” and enjoy!

About the author
A.B. Lucian
2 books4 followersLucian was born in 1987 and his brain has been absorbing Sci-Fi and Fantasy ever since.
Over the years he has developed an allergy to cats, paired with an odd habit of finding cats on the street, taking them in, feeding them, taking them to the vet, and finally donating them to other people.
One day, he came across a stray cat with a broken leg and, as was his habit, took it in. When the skinny bastard healed, Lucian did the unthinkable and kept him. He’s still allergic to cats, but seems to have grown mildly resistant to the skinny bastard who is presently a fat bastard and is sleeping while Lucian writes his biography.
Lucian likes to read various genres, from cozy mysteries to hard sci-fi to memoirs and history, but is focused on writing Science Fiction and Fantasy.
“From The Ashes” is his debut novel, and he is currently buying jars of elbow grease to prepare for the other books in the series.

From the Ashes of the Human Race
Yosh has always been a slave on a backwater farming planet. Yosh tends to raising the genetically altered 200 pound dogs the masters eat. His grandfather tells him tales of when the PROTECTORS OF EARTH kept Earth free. He tells Yosh of how they were betrayed, ambushed, and destroyed. And Yosh dreams of those heroic days.
This is a very well written story. It is acceptable for ages 12 and up, and deals with conscience and responsibility of actions concerns.
I recommend this book.
