About this item
The Empire can be seductive, particularly if youre an aspiring young pilot... Sharing a love of ships and an admiration for the Empire, childhood friends Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree enroll in the Imperial Academy in the hopes of realizing their dream of joining the fleet. The more they learn, however, the more their loyalties -- to the Empire and to each other -- are put to the test. Will Thane and Cienas friendship -- or even they themselves -- survive the trials ahead?
About the Author
Claudia Gray is not my real name. I didn't choose a pseudonym because my real name is unpleasant (it isn't) , because I'd always dreamed of calling myself this (I haven't) or even because I'm hiding from the remnants of that international diamond-smuggling cartel I smashed in 2003 (Interpol has taken care of them) . In short, I took a pseudonym for no real reason whatsoever. Sometimes this is actually the best reason to do things. I live in New Orleans. So far, in life, I've been a disc jockey, a lawyer, a journalist and an extremely bad waitress, just to name a few. I especially like to spend time traveling, hiking, reading and listening to music. More than anything else, I enjoy writing.
