THE EPIC BEGINS...
In Book #1...
Captain Kort Villikon, a respected soldier and great military commander is framed for the horrendous crime of genocide by his nemesis, and once trusted first officer, Malcolm Vismal. Vismal banished Villikon to the prison world of Itasca, maliciously assumed his career, his home, married his wife, and became stepfather to his son Jazar, much to the dismay of her father and Villikons mentor, Vice General Rybolt. Separated from the outlaws he was banished with, Villikon acclimates to his life as an exile over a period of several years, kindles a short-lived romance with a marooned slave rogue named Mystere, and evades mutant creatures, illegally abandoned on Itasca by scientific forces under the command of maliciously tempered High Admiral Skryton, overseer of the planet.Unaware of Vice General Rybolts political plans for his exoneration, Kort Villikon roams the treacherous deserts of Itasca with Exuma, his Dirt Whale, avoiding warmongering clans, pirates, and a vampirical race known as the Porphyrian Hive. Existing in a villainous society with no hope for escape, Villikon searches for a place to call home. The lore surrounding his adventures, the tales of those he led, conquered, and loved, are recorded and known as The Villikon Chronicles.

THE TALE CONTINUES...
In book #2... Pilgrimage of Hope
His pending rescue unbeknownst, Villikon discovers a hidden oasis through the cleft of a dormant volcano in the desert wastelands of Itasca. He encounters a peaceful society of second-generation villagers who believe he is the prophesized leader of their escape. Villikon marries an Itascan native and learns of a legendary starship crashed in the northern hemisphere. Villikon realizes his old acquaintance Mystere was marooned on Itasca aboard the same legendary ship, and sets out on a quest with his wife Zandora, their child, and the villagers, to seek out Mystere and find the lost craft. The crusade favors some, but disillusions many as faiths are tested under extreme conditions.Elsewhere on the planet, Imperium Forces arrive from the home world to begin searching for Villikon. But a corrupt intelligence officer intends to protect the horrible secret he abandoned and still hides from the military for over a half-century - a genetic weapon, which spawned a vampirical race of foes, dwelling under the dreadful surface of the planet.
THE STORY CONCLUDES...

The corrupt military forces of High Admiral Skryton and Villikon's arch nemesis Malcolm Vismal, further doom Villikon's freedom expedition. Amnesty, conspiracy, and catastrophic consequences are realized at the end of an adventure littered with blazing battles, seismic planetary quakes, startling revelations, illicit encounters, cave-dwelling leviathans, and a clandestine vampire hive.
