The Thorn

The Chronicles of Gan seriesbook 1 of 1

On the planet Gan, three rival tribes have been locked in war for generations. A fighter named Jonathan, from one of these peoples, shows mercy to a young enemy soldier named Pekah during a bloody clash, and the gesture wins Pekah's loyalty for life. The two men, from groups that have long been estranged, agree to work together to bring an end to the fighting. Their effort is soon complicated by the schemes of a cunning general named Rezon, a ruthless figure who wants to dominate every people he can reach. Meanwhile, distant signs in the heavens hint at events far beyond their world.
