Book Overview
Sacrificing the present to save the future.
The Star Alliance is being obliterated in a surprise wide-scale attack by the Obsidian Empire who allied themselves with an ancient enemy that everyone thought extinct. The Damocles-3 R&D station is under attack as is every other world and base throughout the sector. R&D Chief Engineer Spiros Malayianis is ordered to leave the station so his critical knowledge of advanced weaponry is preserved, which could be the Alliance's only hope for survival.
Before escaping, Spiros is ordered to wipe out all of his research so it doesn't fall into enemy's hands, but the engineer has other plans. The real question is whether or not he can live with the consequences of this single decision? One that could cost him his soul and forever change the course of his life...
This edition of Damocles Fall is twice as long as the version on my website. It contains the original, plus all the Spiros' scenes from Fury to the Stars (re-edited) plus extra bonus scenes & story conclusion. This book can be read as a stand-alone book.
BIOGRAPHY Christian Kallias was born in Geneva, Switzerland. As his surname suggests, he has Greek roots and often dreams of life in Greece. The rest of the time, he plots space operas and fantasy stories at home in Switzerland.
Christian has always been fascinated with space and Science Fiction in general. As a teenager, he was forever imagining stories, enjoying video games, and creating various art projects. With his sight always set towards the stars, his novels reflect many of his favorite things, like Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Stargate. He has fond memories of playing games like Wing Commander, a fact that should be apparent in his depictions of dogfight scenes.
Christian has always been drawn to imagining his stories in which his utopian aspirations for a better world where humanity shines and evolves towards a higher level of civilization often find their way into his novels. After trying to become a mangaka, a video game creator, an illustrator, and a cd cover artist, he realized along the way that the best medium to express himself was simply through the written word.
Christian began his career as a system engineer and understands technology very well even though he's more than happy to never have to fix a server again for the rest of his life! With that old life behind, and now living his dream, he's thoroughly enjoying creating storylines and characters that entice the reader to reflect and to ask themselves what if? What if we did things differently? What if we challenged our beliefs? But he doesn’t imply that he is right with his questioning. He just has these questions and likes to share them with his readers. In the end, Christian writes, first and foremost, to entertain. So for a little while, the reader can be transported to other worlds, and he hopes they enjoy the ride.
