When a luxury spaceliner is hijacked in the Bishti sector, sets in motion are a series of events that could well lead to interstellar war. A Senator from the Confederation, along with his wife, are among the passengers taken hostage. Jason Hawke, former Confederation Marine, is awakened from an alcoholic cycle of self-destruction and spurred to go to the rescue of the woman he once loved, Kristin Baird, the wife of the Senator. Meanwhile, agencies within the Confederation and the Confed Navy are making plans to go to the rescue of the hostages, little knowing that the rival DeSotoan Empire is laying an ambush for them, using the hostages as bait. But when Jason is joined by his three brothers and a beautiful fighter pilot, the hostage takers may find out that they’ve bitten off much more than they can chew. After all, violence is the Hawke clan’s family business!
Ed Sutter was born and raised in and around Cleveland, Ohio. He claims that, in order to evade the draft, he enlisted in the Marine Corps—it worked—he was never drafted. Over four years the Marines sent him to some very hot places. Upon discharge, he returned to Ohio and found that he could no longer tolerate the Cleveland weather. He needed to move somewhere sunny, and Arizona filled the bill.
Ed has a Masters in Business Administration. Over the years he’s worked as a paperboy, truck driver, electronics technician, manufacturing engineer, test engineer, and technical writer. Before he moved into fiction, he wrote manuals, procedures, or technical instructions.
Ed has studied and taught Oriental martial arts for around thirty years. In his spare time—such as it is—he reads, writes, snow skis, scuba dives, plays racquetball, golfs, and runs.
In 2001, he decided to write the type of books he enjoyed reading. Since then, he’s completed six novels, all published by Whiskey Creek Press, including THE MAGIC SHOP, THE DEFENDERS, PATIENT 13, CHILD OF THOTH, THE AMULET AND THE STAFF, and his most recent release, the bestselling SPACEHAWKS: FAMILY BUSINESS.
