As
the least favored child, it was no surprise when Rivka's father selects
her, at age six, to comply with the country's conscript law. Sent away
to the military to be raised and trained, she struggles to keep from
falling into an abyss of despair. Only when she adopts a new friend's
dream of becoming a member of the elite Black Guard does she find a new
reason to live.
Few
make it into the Black Guard, but Rivka is determined. Yet when she
makes it and is sent on her first mission, to protect a ruling family
during a revolution, she discovers to her dismay that the Black Guard
may not be as perfect as she had believed. Thus Rivka begins a journey
that will change her and the Black Guard forever.

Dragon Sapir is back, and the Jax Military will never be the same.
The
Jax Contract Committee has released Rivka to take assignments, and her
first involves her in a plot by several Systems within the Helix
collection of systems to destroy the Jax. As the plot spreads, she is
given assignments to combat the threat. Soon she becomes the JCC's
problem solver for ill-advised and potentially ruinous contracts the JCC
is forced to accept, including one by the United Freelands who is
seeking revenge on her for their embarrassing defeat on Suryah.
Rivka has become the agent of change, an essential evolution if the Jax is to survive.
Clem
Daems is a native of Chicago, Illinois and a graduate of the University
of Arizona. He served twenty-two years in the US Air Force. Since then,
he has worked as a software engineer, course developer, and adjunct
professor, teaching mathematics and Computer Science.
He
has always been an avid reader of Science Fiction/Fantasy but never had
an interest in writing or being an author. So, it was surprising when
he began his first novel, several years after his retirement, at age
seventy. His first novel, co-authored with Jeanne Tomlin, "The Talon of
the Raptor Clan"--recently reissued as the "Talon of the Unnamed
Goddess"--was a 2010 EPPIE finalist in Fiction/Fantasy.
Clem is an award winning author and an active member of the Science Fiction Writers of America.
His
hobby--a life-long one--has been Kung Fu and Tai Chi. Clem is currently
retired and living in Tucson, Arizona with his lovely wife of
fifty-plus years.
He
would enjoy hearing from you on any topic: his books, the characters,
writing with a co-author, Kung Fu, his website (crdaems.com) or
(talonnovels.com), life after retirement, or...
