Black Sun, Rise of the Flint Pirates Book I

It is a harsh existence for the Flint Brothers. Hunted from one end of the galaxy to another by their late mother's enemies, forced into hiring themselves out to different ships and crews in order to survive, the brothers endure the bleakest of livelihoods. Then a mysterious yet alluring stranger comes before them with something they can't refuse: an offer of hope. That hope is U-7501, a prototype warship of unrepresented power. She is docked within Rochelle Station, one of the most secure fortresses to exist. Completely ready to be stolen. Rochelle is both technologically advance and heavily defended. To sneak in and steal this prized warship will require the perfect mixture of cunning, verve, and luck. It sounds nearly impossible, but as the brothers and their crew of rogues and scoundrels discover, it is only when they set sail with their prize that the impossible really happens.

Daniel Crux is an up-and-coming science fiction author (at least in his mind) and the creator of the Black Sun space opera series. He lives in a small, nowhere town called Phoenix, Arizona, where he usually spends his days doing one of two things: dreaming and writing. When he’s not doing either, chances are he’s wasting his life away by watching movies or playing video games, if not visiting local bookstores to see how the “other half” lives. Unable to find work shortly after leaving college, his family encouraged him to pursue his desire to write and build his business from that. Thus, he focused on writing for the following years, eventually producing the Black Sun series. Beyond his passion for writing and his love of science fiction, he is also an amateur historian who loves reading and researching various historical topics, which often times translates into his work.
