Slave of Akrona

He was the world's greatest hero, lost in battle against the Arikhan invaders. But two years after the invasion's defeat, a battered spacesuit is discovered floating outside the Laros stargate twelve hundred light years from Earth. Captured by an alien salvage crew, the mysterious castaway is sent to the mining camps of Akrona, there to live his final days as a slave. But this soldier from another star-system is no slave, and the Arikhan Empire will never be the same again.
