The Star Seeker Universe is Young Adult fiction written for adults; a throwback to mid-century modern stories of the first generation of sci-fi authors. It's space opera at its finest with gangster saurians, leonid warrior monks and ursid musketeers. Family friendly, it's a fun ride for everyone, young and old alike. Ship plans and star charts adorn the back of each book. Come, suit up, and adventure through the stars once again! Adventure 8: Newly minted Second Lieutenant Wesley Edwards and the crew of the Ambassador have strayed beyond the frontier. Searching for an elusive enemy, they challenge boundaries they never thought they would face and cross to the other side. These are not borders found on any Astrographic map, but challenges of the human soul. While reaching for the light, darkness claws at their feet. Wesley is not alone in wondering if he will ever find his way back...and will he ever recognize himself in a mirror again. The Perils of Pyrax is the middle book to the third cycle in the Star Seeker Universe saga.
