<h2>The Aiden Price Series</h2> | <h2>The Aiden Price Series</h2> | ||
The Price novels are a long running series of thrillers centered around the career of Aiden Price, a Risian who winds up travelling the galaxy and embroiled in Federation politics after becoming an intelligence agent. Jakarn will often teasingly comment many of the major plot elements are based off his own life, but is reticent to disclose exactly which ones. Many of the characters are based off of people he’s met. | The Price novels are a long running series of thrillers centered around the career of Aiden Price, a Risian who winds up travelling the galaxy and embroiled in Federation politics after becoming an intelligence agent.

Aiden, sent to investigate, finds himself wondering if there isn’t something to the faith’s message....

Won the Archer Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2933. | ||
