Scales of Empire

In this first instalment in a brand new series, Kylie Chan brings together pacey, compelling storytelling and an all-too-possible imagined future in a tale packed with action, adventure, drama and suspense.

Corporal Jian Choumaliis on the mission of a lifetime – security officer on one of Earth's huge generation ships, fleeing Earth's failing ecosystem to colonise a distant planet.

The ship encounters a technologically and culturally advanced alien empire, led by a royal family of dragons. The empire's dragon emissary offers her aid to the people of Earth, bringing greater health, longer life and faster-than-light travel to nearby stars.

But what price will the people of Earth have to pay for the generous alien assistance?
