One Last Flight: Book One Of The Holy Terran Empire

By Carlos Carrasco

Gaelic of Arkum is an outlaw, a smuggler more at home on his ship the Strumpet, than he is on any of the thousand worlds of civilized space. Gaelic of Arkum is an ex-junkie, a former fighter pilot and a traitor to the Federation of Free Planets which he once served. An escaped prisoner wanted dead or alive by two galactic super powers, Gaelic hides behind an assumed identity while scratching a living for himself working for a ruthless warlord.And Gaelic of Arkum is dying, entering the end stage of the always terminal Transuranic Cancer.All he wants to do with the little time left him is to drop off his last load, get paid and hole up in his favorite cat house for a week before shoving off into space again for his rendezvous with oblivion. The last thing Gaelic wants to do is revisit his sordid past. But that long-buried past comes a-knocking anyway, stripping away his alias, exposing his true self and luring him back to the source of all his miseries.The revelation propels Gaelic down a harrowing path in search of the only woman he has ever loved, the only woman he hates; the lover who abandoned him to humiliation and slavery. Along the way, Gaelic must contend with former comrades of the Federation Forces who would see him hanged for treason, homicidal AIs of the Psion Collective and the Imperial Knights Templar, whose zeal for their Faith and their Holy Terran Empire threatens to consume him in the first fires of an intergalactic war.It's all enough to make Gaelic of Arkum wonder who he has to kill to be able to die in peace.One Last Flight is the first installment in a new and exciting Space Opera Series. It is a thrilling tale of Adventure, Love and Redemption in the shadow of War
