Narman's Pyke: An Eamon Tauk Space Odyssey - Book 1 - Paperback

by J. E. Park (Author)

Eamon Tauk was literally born into the Space Corps. They spent two decades forging him into a Marine. Training him to be a killer. Twisting him into a fanatic. It was their efforts to turn him into a hero that left him questioning every sacred tenet the Citadel drilled into him, however.

After being deployed to secure the lost colony of Narman's Pyke, the young cadet tries to repress his crisis of faith long enough to complete his mission. Then he crash-lands on Kanaris, a miserably wet planet where human beings are NOT at the top of the food chain.

When his battalion is denied rescue and forced to march hundreds of kilometers through deadly rainforest for no other reason than to save the reputation of a highborn coward, Tauk begins to understand the dynamics that have the Kyperion League teetering on the brink of civil war.

And in an environment so hostile that even the trees seem hellbent on killing them, he discovers that the deadliest threats facing the Marines on Kanaris are not the alien creatures preying upon them.

It is the people who led them there.

Reading like a cross between the movies "Aliens" and "Platoon," Narman's Pyke is the opening salvo of the new epic sci-fi space opera from the author of the Tequila Vikings series, J.E. Park.
