Black Dawn
On a war-torn planet orbiting a dying sun, Noor Malatesta roams the desert, hunting after the killers who gunned her down and left her for dead. But to finally settle old scores, she must also atone for her past by destroying a creature hell-bent on devouring the stars. Time’s running out. As the Black Dawn shadows the horizon, Noor soon realizes that to get revenge, she’ll have to face the woman she loves—the enemy Noor fears most. Only death pays for justice in this tomb world. "Grimly riveting, Black Dawn recounts one heroine's journey of revenge in a world forged in blood and fire. This is excellent storytelling, fast-paced and action-packed." — Christopher Clancy, author of We Take Care of Our Own James W. Bodden is the writer of the novels Red Light Princess and Coffin Riders . He's hunkered down in some Cold War bunker, helmet strapped tight, and braced for impact.

Load up your blasters, light up your starfire scimitars, and check your ship’s gyroscopic motivator. You’re about to tag along with Noor Malatesta and her path of revenge across the dying planet of Nahl Gul.
A once thriving jewel of the Drus galactic caliphate; Nahl Gul now finds itself on the death throes of a dying sun, and Noor, the deadliest woman on the planet, scours its apocalyptic surface, hellbent on revenge, with nothing else to lose. She will shed her enemies’ blood before the Black Dawn rises for the last time.
Alien thrills, desert chills, twists and turns speed this story along; leaving Noor in the grudging position to perhaps emerge an unlikely antihero in this sword & planet sci-fi adventure reminiscent of Dune and Star Wars. Bodden delivers once more with his creative prowess and unapologetic protagonists of dubious moral fiber.
So sling that high-powered carabine over your shoulder, tighten your burnouse, and keep your thumb on that starfire igniter. You’re about to go on a ride.
