In the near future humans can travel to the stars. Instantaneously. The Marco Polo leads a human expedition on its maiden voyage outside Earth's Solar System when the ship's scientists detect power readings: they are alien and emanate from Planet III... a wasteland which suffered a devastating nuclear bombardment many thousands of years before. Deep, under the surface of Planet III archaeologists excavate an alien library, a rosetta stone of sorts, and are astonished to unlock its secrets with human DNA. They quickly determine that the Saiph, a race of unknown origin, have left a guide to survival, survival against a merciless enemy called the 'Others'.
They need technology. They need allies. Most of all, they need heroes.
Humanity and their allies battle for their very existence in the first instalment of PP Corcoran's classic space opera saga. If you like intrigue, electrifying action, and interstellar warfare, then you'll love PP Corcoran's series starter.
The Saiph Series comes highly recommended from fans of the Honor Harrington and Lost Fleet series, the works of Jack McDevitt, The Mote In God's Eye by Niven and Pournelle, Asimov and Arthur C Clarke.
Industry Reviews
"This is a compelling military-based science fiction tale that will get you thinking, and the scenarios and future technology are not too far-fetched to make you cry foul. The author does a good job of getting you to relate to his characters, and the ending has a bit of a cliffhanger that makes you want to continue the series." - Michael Gallagher Hall of Fame Vine Voice, Amazon
"This has to be one of the best SciFi books I've ever read, and I've read a lot. The writing is clear, the characters nicely developed, the action dramatic and the pace fast and even. All this makes the book an easy read. Corcoran has incorporated splendid technology elements to provide the detail ensuring credibility without slowing the pace at all." - C. Craig Coleman Amazon Customer.
