    About this ebook

    The story continues with Jupe Beggs, arriving back home and looking for those responsible for his betrayal. His father TC and his sister Dawn-Star are the first on his list, but he suspects the government’s Deep Space Exploration company is just as much to blame. Trying to build support, Jupe heads a group of conspiracy researchers called Ancia Free, until they start to uncover too much. Unknown to Jupe, his father has ties to the criminal leader Lars Best, who is interested in using their uniquely brave piloting skills for his own cause.

    In this riveting sequel to Shadow of a Burning Star unexpected characters come into the mix, as the race to conquer space heats up. There are gangsters and opportunists alike, willing to do anything for the chance to step up into outer space.

    RB Banfield

    R.B. Banfield lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, a city famous for suffering large earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. His quiet out-of-the-way house suffered minimal damage and yet was deemed "red zone", so through New Zealand government help, he was able to relocate his family to safer ground. Like most Cantabrians, R.B. is well prepared for earthquakes and their aftermaths, by estimating their size, depth and location, and being disappointed in any below a 4.0. Also, like most Cantabrians, R.B. has become very good at driving Christchurch roads and avoiding the numerous and ever changing holes and bumps, not to mention the growing families of orange cones.R.B. had been writing since a young age, beginning with the ambitious Robber's Rock, an exciting children's adventure augmented by pictures cut and pasted from newspapers. His follow up work was an original space yarn set on a space station, where the desperate crew had run low on its supply of space floss.His major hobby is in studying international cricket, which led to his devising a new and better method of statistics. He also thinks himself as a studious movie critic, mostly happy at the state of modern film making, but concerned as to why they can't all be great, and why they can't make some of his own stories into movies. He does have plenty of casting suggestions, and might be willing to help with the scripts.
