9780692450543: Wizard Defiant

Synopsis

An epic adventure blending science fiction and fantasy in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and undying friendship.

A high-tech, futuristic soldier is thrust into battle alongside a magic-using, high-elf priestess in a quest that could mean the salvation or destruction of two galaxies.

Wizard scouts are the elite, deep-recon forces of the Intergalactic Empire, trained to operate light years behind enemy lines with little or no support. While still a first-year student at the Intergalactic Empire’s legendary Wizard Scout Academy, Cadet Richard Shepard excels at the mix of technology and psionic abilities that make wizard scouts the Empire’s most elite soldiers.

When war breaks out with the Crosoian Federation, Richard is sent by an entity known only as ‘the One’ to the magic dimension to help the beautiful elf, Shandria, defeat a demon and its army of undead. Trained at the academy to fight against armored vehicles, phase beams, and attacking starships, Richard quickly finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Regardless, with the fate of two galaxies riding in the balance, he must somehow use his wizard scout skills and the technology of his newly acquired battle suit and prototype computer, Nickelo, to overcome a host of dragons, demons, trolls, zombies, and ghouls.

Can a lone wizard scout cadet prevail with only the aid of his battle computer and the magic of an elf priestess for support? The odds are against him, but Richard is determined to somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat or die in the attempt.
