An exiled soldier who believes he has lost everything to war rediscovers love, honor and purpose after he meets a beautiful and vengeful woman who harbors a secret past of her own. Their mission to find and rescue 37 genetically engineered creatures will take them across the galaxy and force them to face their deepest fears.
Garrand Ai'Gonet Médeville once commanded immense power and respect as one of the Emperor's favored sons. Now the former Captain of the Imperial Guard has lost himself deep in the lawless outer reaches of Carinaena's Shell, far from the Emperor's reach. Accepting a dangerous mission to transport 37 stolen bios sets him on a collision course with the empire he once served and the dark forces intent on destroying his mysterious cargo. 
The Tchelakov 37 are only three generations removed from their humble beginnings as fat, furry mammals. They have been genetically engineered to become living probability engines--intuitive machines. Precognitive awareness is the tribe's legacy, a blessing so coveted that it threatens to destroy them before they even have a chance to understand it. Pursued across the stars, the tribe sees all paths leading to unbearable darkness.
A slender thread of hope wends through their dreams: a man will arrive, a reluctant and destructive hero. They must see beyond this man's ragged past and recognize the honor in his heart. And they must survive long enough to unlock his true nature and start him down the Path of Fate.

5,0 su 5 stelle Love!!! Must read series!! Great characters, humor, heartbreak, intrigue, battles, honor, & suspense!

Book 1,2,3 &4 is a must read-complete Syfy series!
I loved these books!!
From the very beginning I was hooked. The characters are well defined and immediately you begin to associate yourself with them and all of life's similar struggles. Garrod, the lone duck, the rogue, savior for some traitor to others. He comes off with this armored exterior but he's such a softy. His past is heart wrenching and filled with difficult decisions and soul searching guilt. Can he overcome his past to save his and the local galaxy's future?
You will immediately fall in love with his ship and the artificial life forms aboard ship, who he has helped program into more self awareness and free will: Destiny- the ship, Bailey- the first lieutenant/2nd in command, Jean Wa-the extravagant Chef & Little Bit--Tech Assist/jack of all trades. They, also have their own journey, which is really cool. They add such life and humor to the story. There are all kinds of stories within the story which is so great, entertaining and keeps us guessing.
The main plot concerns Garrod being hired by an unknown, Helen. She is a person of many faces. Can Garrod trust her? Is she a spy? She is determined on the path of treachery but to whom? Will she sacrifice the ship and all it's occupants to succeed in her mission? And what is this secret cargo that her mission revolves around? The cargo that is now being sought after by multiple military task forces? The cargo that is so precious and threatening at the same time. Who will be left standing?
Love, love,love these books!!
Well edited, minor errors. Good read for junior high to adult.

4,0 su 5 stelle Nette Verfolgungsjagd
Recensito in Germania il 3 febbraio 2014

Fasst hätte ich das Buch am Anfang aus der Hand gelegt. Das Intro hat mich irgendwie angeätzt vom Schreibstil.
Aber gut, dass ich es nicht getan habe. Denn die Geschichte, die sich langsam entwickelt, ist spannend und unterhaltend.

Nicht, dass SciFi hier nun neu erfunden wird. Die Story ist inhaltlich auch gefühlt ein Mix bekannter Themen. Das ist aber auch ok und stört mich nur in seltenen Fällen. Die Story macht viel mehr die Entwicklung der Charaktere aus. Es hat mir auch gefallen, dass die in Kategorie "Böse" fallenden Figuren auch durchaus Grauzonen aufweisen und nicht nur extrem einseitig dargestellt werden.

Die Actionelemente fand ich zum Teil nicht sehr gut beschrieben. Hier hat der Autor noch deutliches Potenzial nach oben. Da es aber ja noch mindestens einen weiteren Band geben sollte, wird sich das wahrscheinlich ja auch noch weisen.

Ansonsten solide SciFi, die ich jedem empfehlen kann, vor allem wenn der Download immer noch kostenlos ist.

5,0 su 5 stelle Really great read!
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 28 agosto 2013

I've been thinking of writing a book for a while now but when I read a really well written book such as The Griffin, I ask myself "Do I have what it takes?".
My husband commented that an author of good science fiction has a monumental task when writing not only one book but an entire series. The details and backstory are excellent.
This book is very well constructed and entertaining. The writing is vivid and creates a perfect portrait in your mind of the world Mr. Williams has produced.
As I was reading the book, I could imagine the movie, complete with big furry pandas. At first it seems illogical, pandas in science fiction but it really works!
There are great themes here that we can all relate to, my favorite being redemption.

Check it out! Enjoy!

4,0 su 5 stelle Pretty good book
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 dicembre 2015

Pretty good book. Planning on reading the next in the series at some point.

One of the things I liked was the variety of interests/skill sets he has outside of the fact that he's a ex-imperial guard/warrior/space pilot. Like he designed/built the ship, though he had help from a renowned ship builder, his little hidden cache of rare/extinct plants used for healing purposes, him writing subroutines to help his arts become better people etc.

At this point in the story line I'm not sure we've seen anything to really set the main bad guy apart from any main bad guy in any story. His menagarie of useful people, such as his two assassins, seems to be the closest. Is that enough to counter Garrand/Tchelakov? We'll see how much growth he gets in the later books, right now Garrand is interesting enough that it's not too much of a problem. More of an observation I guess.

5,0 su 5 stelle I loved the Griffin: Ashes of Honor, perfect company on my commute

I loved the Griffin: Ashes of Honor! From the start you become immersed in this strange world with its bizarre mix of inhabitants from humans to animals with technological beings bridging the gaps.
You get a good sense that there is a lot more to come from this series with little hints of hidden pasts creeping in as the story develops.
I was gripped and really disappointed when I reached the end as now I have to wait for the next in the series to find out what happens next!
