When you mess with the Church of the Flaming Starcaptain, you mess with Captain Tayne Sondar.
Upon arriving on Firaga Infernus in search of the Lost Tomb of the Flaming Starcaptain, Tayne finds his guide - a firelord, no less - murdered, the local church branch in chaos and the entire planet under the thumb of a mysterious figure known as Shyuul.
After learning Shyuul has been luring members of the church into his secretive scheme with vast sums of credits and turning them against their less-corruptible brethren, Tayne puts tomb-hunting on hold and sets off to track down the troublesome overlord.
But what Tayne finds shocks him to his metal bones as forces from the past return to threaten not just the planet but the entire universe. And without his crew to bail him out if things go awry, this time Tayne’s really up against the heat.
Who is Shyuul? What is he plotting? And can he be stopped? And what of the Lost Tomb of the Flaming Starcaptain? Is it just a legend or does it really exist? And if it is real, what wonders await inside?

Hadwin Fuller is the author of the space opera series Star Inferno. He writes sci-fi novels packed to the air seals with blaster brawls, space dogfights and misfit crews of loveable weirdos who are forced to band together to save the universe.
Like most sci-fi writers, Hadwin is the victim of a misspent youth (he blames his parents) in which his head was buried far too often in sci-fi novels and far too rarely in schoolbooks. It is from this vast expanse of wasted time that he channels his inner sci-fi writer.
Hadwin lives in Vietnam with his wife, newborn baby and robot vacuum cleaner. When he’s not pressing his eyeballs up against the display of his e-reader, Hadwin can be found blasting around town on his motorbike, loafing around in coffee shops and eating his way through every Vietnamese food they have a name for.
The worldbuilding gets even crazier in Flame. Past acquaintances come back to haunt/torture Tayne. There is graphic violence; Tayne takes a lot of damage, but he learns a new trick and makes a new friend. This series has a lot of doom and destruction, but, in Flame, hope for the future blooms.
