Star Sons - Dawn of the Two Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Lynda Sappington has been entertaining people for years with her fan-fiction written under the pen-name Abraxan. Reading Star Sons, it's clear that she put this practice to VERY good use. While this is obviously the first book in a series, it can stand on its own. There's a definite climax to the action...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this book on a whim at a Barnes and Noble a few years back for some curious reading. I'd heard a lot of good things about it, so I figured "why not?".
