A military Sci-Fi thriller. Abraham joins the Marines to seek revenge on the Riskar, following the destruction of his home planet and the death of his mother. But he is young and naive, and has a lot to learn about this great war. The first of a trilogy.The Shadow Man was there when Milune was destroyed, wielding a power that ordinary folk should not behold. But frightened children are rarely believed. With Abraham's mother dead, his father tries desperately to build his sons a new life on a new world. There are friends, enemies, romances, and the usual embarrassments of teenage years. But Abraham dreams only of revenge - against the vile riskar, destroyers of Milune. Enamored by tales of the great campaign against the riskar, Abraham signs up, the realities of war and the dynamics of camaraderie molding a simple farmboy into a deadly and intuitive soldier. But there are truths still to emerge, and The Shadow Man is no longer the distant memory of a frightened child. Nor does he hover at the edges of Abraham's dark dreams. In fact, he is much closer than Abraham could have imagined.
"Think Starship Troopers, meets Mass Effect, meets the Twilight Zone. Burnworth expertly guides readers through a story of childhood trauma leading to the realistic challenges and comradery only found in the military with a mysterious chain of events that will keep readers hungry for answers and cumulates in an explosive ending you can't miss. 5 stars!" Amazon Reviewer; "Nothing better than going full rock 'n' roll on alien landscapes. 5*" - Jeremy Spires, Author of the Ashes of Eternity series; "With its slick pace, rough and raw dialogue, and captivating drama, Redshift was a delight to read and a definitive page-turner. Considering the author's military background, the terminology and nuances of war combine realistically - and believably - with creative far-future sci-fi technology to create something truly organic and resonant." - Nick Carlson, Author of Simeon and Hell's Gulf
