Operating on the wrong side of interstellar law one time too many, the three o’Hara brothers found themselves in a life-or-death flight from the forces of the Galactic Terran Empire. In a last desperate maneuver to escape, they came out of nothingness to find what must be a lost or abandoned colony world. Forced to bring their shuttle down in search of repair facilities for their spaceship, the O’Haras encountered only humans who had returned to a hunter-gatherer level of society. Here was a place where technology could make them seem like gods – and a land where they would remain trapped unless they could find a way to mine and manufacture the things they needed to repair their ship.
But recruiting the natives wasn’t going to be easy. Not when a priest called Hanassa ruled in the name of the dragon Simurgh, a terrifying, legendary creature that demanded human sacrifice. And not when the brothers instantly became the target of Hanassa’s wrath.
Still, they didn’t believe the legends about dragons and magic, and they were certain technology would see them through – at least until they confronted their first dragon and felt their own unique powers expanding beyond their control . . .
