Space Faction by Thomas Mariani is a fearless science fiction novel that demonstrates how man will continue searching for lasting peace even in the far future. It has a simple plot made fascinating by its characters and twists. What we have here is the Decagon galaxy, a star system that is home to ten planets. It used to be a utopia that offered refuge to anyone who sought it, but it is now reduced to a place filled with tension from war and terror and divided by factions. The Crystal Resistance, a faction supported by the planet Darcya, plans to end the war and proclaim leadership over Decagon. But their leader, General Vince Starflight, will change the course of his moral choice toward a more peaceful future. A Tarfien starship attack left hundreds of casualties, the result of his failure during a mission. Out of the ashes of his guilt will rise a new faction called Project Unity. This faction will undergo tremendous challenges that include loyalty, betrayal, and violence.

Vince Starflight is bound to be one of the biggest characters you will meet in action-oriented science fiction. Thomas Mariani has a knack for creating characters and making stories definitive and larger than life, as demonstrated by Starflight’s internal and external struggles. Mariani also gives you a study of our baser instincts, the propensity for violence, and how some of us are better at controlling it than others. It is a story that examines the age-old idea that peace cannot exist without war. Space Faction has a considerable storyline, and you relish every scene as you understand why some people are leaders and why some are followers. Space Faction is a sci-fi action tale that has its own way of growing on you, and you will feel satisfied after you finish reading it.

I think it's a very interesting book you wrote Thomas and I do look forward to reading more of your books just cause you are part of the family and cause I would also like to read more and see what this whole planet is all about.
