Haunter Grey - Origin: A novel set in the Last Ark universe

By Ross C Miller

A millennia-old, one-sided war.
And a broken man must lead the Resistance.

The Unity had been destroying subhumans, people like Castor Efrata-Landeez, and their planets for four thousand years. Castor is finally told to find Anselmi Taskinen on Termina Two. The old blind man could teach him no more. But Castor has no memory of his life before being trained in his personal numbers, deep in the bulboar mines. And the only way off the prison planet is on a Unity Freighter.
As Castor stumbles along, he finds himself pushed deeper and deeper into a very one-sided war. ...as part of a weak and ineffective Resistance.
Wars for freedom are fought by heroes. Fleets are commanded by the experienced. ...not by someone who can't remember his past.

Haunter Grey Origin begins the story of a fight for freedom and liberty, and the dynamics between those people who must fight that war. ...qualified, or not.

Reviewed By Tammy Ruggles for Readers' Favorite - 09/05/2020 5 Stars Haunter Grey - Origin by Ross C Miller is a gripping science fiction novel that won't let you go. Set in the Last Ark universe, it still has the power to stand on its own, but it's always helpful to brush up on the overall story. In this entertaining offering, you have vicious predators to contend with, wars that have been waged by The Unity against sub-humans for thousands of years, a prison planet to escape, and a reluctant hero in Castor Efrata-Landeez, who can't recall his past or make sense of the numbers in his head, and is aided by his blind mentor, who can see the future.
The author's quick launch into action from the first page lets you know you're in for a careening ride, but there are thought-provoking themes along the way, like what does it take to be a hero, how far would you go to help others, and do you really have a purpose. The fast pace sets the stage for the plot and character arcs to come. Castor is a compelling character. He doesn't think he's cut out to be a leader, but that's what The Resistance needs to bring freedom to those dominated by The Unity. They have some skills. They just need someone to bring out the best in them and help them believe in themselves and in liberty itself. Garrant is an interesting character too. The events that unfold are intriguing and unpredictable. Miller's characters feel real, not caricature--they are imperfect, and that's what makes them relatable. His world-building and execution skills are outstanding, the dialogue crackles with life, and you really feel caught up in this nail-biting thriller. Fans of Alien and other space war sagas will love Haunter Grey - Origin by Ross C. Miller.
