Against the backdrop of failing empire, a former soldier sworn to non-violence after his involvement in a global massacre seeks answers from the captain who ordered it, now exiled on a lawless prison planet overrun by psychotic killers.
On the edges of mankind’s domain there is a penal planet called Fresh Start where a sentence is at best exile to five generations, but more likely death in its harsh unforgiving wastes. It is to this planet the empire sends the worst of the worst and it is on this planet that Qays Mendoza searches for his old captain.


The galactic empire is falling, civilization contracts. Fresh Start is abandoned. Without oversight, the planet is wild, without guards; the Oubliette, the supermax prison on the supermax planet, lies open, and the Butcher of Raznak, a killer worse than the one Qays seeks, is on the loose.


With the help of a street waif called Patience, Qays seeks answers. His soul is stained with guilt and his spirit broken by complicity. Religion did not have the answer; duty did not explain it. Birthright and station were not enough. His answers lie somewhere on Fresh Start.

He graduated with a B.A. in English, minor in Classics and a Master's in American Studies from the University of Utah.

Well versed in modern literary criticism and cultural studies, Johnny writes upmarket multi-genre fiction, both traditionally and independently published. “I write what I like to read,” he says. “That guarantees me at least one fan.” Johnny’s best-selling series, The Books of Coronam, is an epic science fiction series in the vein of Frank Herbert’s DUNE. It is available from Flame Tree Press, with international distribution through Simon and Schuster. Another Flame Tree Press title is Johnny apocalyptic myth THE GAIA CHIME, which witnesses the global chaos of a planet in repair. Like Johnny’s many other titles it is available wherever better books are sold.
