Rise of the Phoenix

Shaking off the shackles is no easy task when working alone. The Federation had set up a thousand laws, each designed not to help humanity expand but to keep it tethered, to control every aspect of its existence. Captain Terrique Thorne is a relic of a different time, a time when humanity s eyes had been set on the stars with a sense of wonder and adventure. They d taken everything from him his ship, his freedom, his future. But he wasn't dead... not yet. His apprentice, Jace Penchant was young too young to remember what Thorne had lived through, too young to know the true taste of freedom. But he had something else: a spark of creativity that no amount of regulation could stifle. And this is what Thorne longed to see. Could these two men effect history? Could they breathe new life into mankind's existence? Maybe not. But together they'd give it one hell of a shot.
