Philip William’s literary style transports you to a futuristic universe in “Ashes of Honor”. It is easy to envision the strange planets, infrastructure, and richly imaginative creatures that inhabit this exciting extraterrestrial environment. The book follows exiled hero, Garrand Ai’Gonet Medeville as he tries to evade the Imperial Guard. He takes on a new assignment helping Helen Tchelakov transport 37 prescient pandas, and battles Vice Proctor Barrett and Captain Vailetta Strom. Medeville’s endearing ‘artificial’ Bailey, his chef Jean-Wa and Little Bit loyally support him as his ship Destiny’s Needle tries to avoid being captured. I was sorry to see Book I end and will wait for Book II to continue their intergalactic journey.
