Description
Daglyr is the pilot novel of an exciting new Universe series which begins in another dimension and follows the adventures of a chaotic and twisted alien as he faces the struggles of existence throughout time and space
Captain Widbo (pronounced "wee bow") of the Royal Borrugal Brigade was known for his success in battle against all odds. He was infamous for his unorthodox methods and invited adventurous soldiers to train at his side, many too headstrong for other companies.
His current mission is to gain control of the daglyr problem, brutish beasts caught raiding vital supply lines on the isolated planet of Corrudi. Widbho encounters deception and discovers a dark conspiracy threatening the entire Borrugal Coalition.
Striving to overcome formidable foes, he is thwarted by his own superiors and forced to compromise a winning strategy. He devises bold plans to avoid failure and a grim fate. Widhbo must risk his life and abandon everything he once cherished to make a final attempt for freedom.
Captain Widhbo of the Royal Borrugal Brigade was not an easy officer to serve under. He was a perfectionist, ruthless in pursuit of justice and precise in execution of duty. Still he was known to take a chance on anyone who wanted to serve with him. New recruits stood in line to join his company. They knew if one could endure his eccentric command, the experience gained could advance a career exponentially.
The Brigade was the military branch of The Royal Borrugal Coalition, formed by elite fighting factions of the entire Borrugal dimension, a high energy, band world adjacent to our own galaxy. Known for their fierce military record, vielyrs were both envied and feared as the most highly evolved among energy beings. Vielyrs took their superior status quite seriously. Those who faltered, fell into disgrace. Vielyrs shamed in battle would often turn to a life of villainy with other outcasts known as vielgards.
Captain Widhbo was the last surviving member of the ancient house of Widhbo from the vielyr tribe. Before their collapse, the House of Widbho figured prominently among them. It had gone down in a savage battle, defeated by vielgards. The young Widhbo survived by accident of being away on a sporting expedition when his family was attacked by a marauding band of these rogue vielyrs.
Refusing to accept humiliation or defeat, Widhbo joined the Brigade to redeem the family name and restore honor to his lineage, or perhaps for revenge. His triumphs in battle were often at the expense of protocol. He was systematically bypassed for promotion supposedly due to his infamous methods and habitual dodging of rules. His superiors reaped the rewards of his victories while dissing Widhbo in the public arena. Most were happy to employ him for distasteful and dangerous missions, knowing he would always get the job done.
Widhbo was relentless in his quest for promotion but was beginning to suspect he was too useful in his current position. As captain he had no real authority and was a ready scapegoat for the higher officers or political class. His current mission was the most thankless one to date. He was to eradicate some primitive beasts on a remote planet who were raiding supply wagons, thereby interrupting a secret supply line of lithium ore needed by The Coalition to power their ships and weaponry. A secret mission meant no public credit, no glory.
His current assignment was on a remote planet and strictly classified. He pointed this out to his superior officers, "Whether I succeed or fail, no matter. A secret mission will not affect my reputation. I may as well be on vacation."
It was the beginning of the end.
