When Darkness dawns, evil awakes. David Damion is a highly trained member of the Round Table of the planet Avalon. The knights of Avalon are pledged to go to the aid of any innocent and deserving party that requests their help. But even knights may take a holiday, and Damion has bought himself a very expensive trip on the refurbished luxury spaceliner The Silver Queen. It's itinerary, a tour of the Twelve Wonders of the Universe. When the ship is hijacked by Grey Dawn as part of their master plan to destroy the Planetary Union, Damion finds himself needing all his skills to stay one step ahead of their soldiers. Having taken two na ve but plucky civilians under his wing, he is relieved to be joined by Nova McLaren, the beautiful but volatile heroine of the Martian War. Yet he finds her combination of charm and ruthlessness disturbing, and the antipathy one of his charges shows towards her makes things even more tense. Despite the combined skills of Damion and Nova, security is only fleeting once the Grand Master of Grey Dawn realises the party have a clue to his identity. Pursued by both Grey Dawn assassins and Unicops, can the quartet utilise their information to unmask the Grand Master and save both themselves and the Planetary Union? This novel was previously called Darkness Descending.
