Hand of Mars

From nobody to nightmare. From renegade to redeemer.

Three years ago, Damien Montgomery was on the run from everyone. That is long past now, as the Mage-King of Mars has plucked him from obscurity to take advantage of his rare and powerful magical gifts.

The Mage-King has plans for his newest pupil, but Damien is young and inexperienced. To season the young Mage, he is assigned to one of the warrior-judges that rove the Protectorate's stars, the Hands of the King, as an aide and apprentice.

The world of Ardennes has seen murder and violence on a scale the Protectorate cannot allow. The Hand suspects hidden treachery, using Damien as bait to draw out the traitors.

But when treason explodes and a Hand falls, what can one Mage do against an entire world?

Starship's Mage is The Atlas Six meets Genesis: First Colony—combining Olivie Blake's magical conspiracies with Ken Lozito's vast interstellar conflict.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its release, Glynn Stewart and Faolan's Pen Publishing are releasing new revised editions of the first five books in this best-selling science fiction & fantasy adventure. The first Starship's Mage novel was initially released as a series of serialized Kindle books. In 2014, these episodes were combined and published as a single novel for the first time.
