Author Information:
Jan Domagala (1955-ongoing);
I have never considered myself a writer, I would like to think of myself as an entertainer, a teller of stories. I would hope that the stories I write entertain you the reader so that when you finish the book two things happen, firstly that you feel you have had your money's worth and secondly it makes you want to know what happens next. If that happens then I can feel satisfied that I have done my job well.
I recently returned to live in Staffordshire, where I grew up, after a brief sojourn in the Derbyshire Dales. At present I am busy writing the next book in the series.

In the mid 25th century the galaxy is split between 2 super powers, the Colonial Confederation and the Elysium Alliance who are locked in a cold war.
Kurt Stryder, a member of Recon Delta, the Special Forces unit of Col Sec(Colonial Security) is the sole survivor of a secret program to create a super soldier. Deemed too dangerous to continue it was abandoned. Trapped in a secret facility on a planet deep in Alliance territory Kurt is subjected to experiments to acertain the validity of the program. Col Sec mounts a daring rescue mission to free the soldier before the Alliance learns what Col Sec can only suspect, that the program was a spectacular success. In the first of the Col Sec series we are introduced to Kurt Stryder, a man who is changed beyond his wildest imaginings due to a program he volunteered for. A program he was told could change the military forever. We journey with him as he faces his destiny and has to decide whether to remain a pawn of his government or become a soldier with no master, a Ronin. |

Revelation after revelation unveil themselves as Matt and those at Col Sec fight for survival until the truth is finally revealed and he faces the head of OMEGA. Only one force can survive this confrontation and Matt prays that he is on the winning side.
