Description:
Starfire is a non-Earth, non-human science fiction about Rathe, a member of
a race of talking, machine-using dinosaur people. (No, really.)

Rathe is trying to make his mark in his military unit while concealing
the secret of his quick advancement through the ranks.

The empire he serves is at war with an enemy that is on the brink of
discovering the secret of a lost civilization—a civilization whose Starfire
weapons system will assure victory to whichever side seizes it first.

A mysterious follower of an all but forgotten God warns Rathe not to
use the weapon as he has planned to.

Starfire is one of those books we created Marcher Lord Press to
publish. Because of Stuart’s genre and subject matter, the book is all but
unpublishable at traditional Christian houses. There's not a humanoid in the
bunch, after all.

But it’s terrific and needs to be published. If the regular houses
can’t publish books like this, we thought, let’s create a house that can. Oh,
wait, that’s what we’ve done! :D
