The Griffin Series: Genesis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781491711651)

General Saigon Alexander is the honorable captain of the ESS Battleship Sphinx. He is an officer of the Galactic Police, a law enforcement branch created by the Unified Galactic State. His crew is talented, driven, and composed of many of his childhood friends. Together, they are a hard-working team often looked to for secret interstellar missions by the UGS.

One such mission involves the successful apprehension of a notorious enemy of the state, charged with plotting terrorist activities against the regime and the president. Saigon is proud of his accomplishment, and yet he is soon shocked to witness the inhumane treatment of their captive. He protests but is threatened with imprisonment himself.

Saigon, ever loyal, feels a need to pull away. He resolves to combat the tyranny of the Galactic Police, and with the help of his crew, a new ship is commissioned. The Griffin will be their safe haven as news spreads of their betrayal. Soon, they are named outlaws, but Saigon will not stop fighting for the good of the galaxy and justice for all.
