Mike Waller is a multi award-winning author and independent publisher who has written in some form or other for many years in relation to other occupations, and now in the writing of fiction.

He currently lives in Queensland, Australia (beautiful one day, perfect the next), surrounded by blue sky, warm breezes and green trees (but no aliens, so far).

Good read and can be a lead into a series. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The world building is good and there are no grammar errors. The action was ok but was a little weaker than it could have been and no romance. If it becomes a series, I would continue to follow it; lots of opportunity for expansion. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Thank you for your feedback

    I’m fond of stories about ethical mercenaries. They’re rare characters.

    This was a thoroughly enjoyable story about a wrongfully convicted man given an opportunity to right a few wrongs. As escape science fiction, it’s highly recommended.

    Hawk is a very believable character. I thought the action flowed well, very believable storyline and practical evolvement. Starts you guessing at the beginning, but quickly comes together as you move along. For those who like to see justice done, this is a great read. Hope there is a sequel.

    I would like to see "Hawk" in a series. He has all the elements of a imperfect hero. If this were a movie a Clint Eastwood clone would be the perfect choice to star.

    Oh man. I so enjoyed this book. A man is falsely accused of setting off a bomb that destroys lots and kills many. He is sent to prison and is resigned to this new life. Then someone comes to the prison and offers him a way out. A new life. Who wouldn't want that? He is sent to Scenna to get rid of the dictator currently there and to establish a new government. The planet is rich in a mineral found there, which has no use on the planet. Scenna, it is discovered, is also home to the drug Hellfire, which is being harvested by slaves. This story is told in such a wonderful way that just makes you want to keep on going and not stop reading. Thank you, Mike Waller, for such a great read. Looking forward to your next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Justice is served
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2023

    A really good read in the genre of military sci Fi. Falsely accused of an atrocious crime and convicted without a proper trial, Haukens fate was supposedly sealed -life imprisonment without any hope of reprieve. Money and power can do such things, people and systems can be bought. The universe loves irony it seems, as the same processes enable Hawk after many unlikely events of him in a position to right a good many wrongs and bring a bit of justice along the way.
    Good characters and world building make this a very good read. Hawk Hellfire will not disappoint.

    When security consultant/ mercenary Kyrstian is falsely convicted and imprisoned for a terrorist attack he didn't commit his life is over, until a mega-corporation offers him a way out, for a price. Abbie joins the Guarda to search for and bring to justice the manufacturers of the drug that killed her brother. With so many worlds out there finding the source world is almost impossible, until it's not and when their paths cross all hell breaks loose. Insanely detailed worldbuilding believable characters and a host of amazing storylines leading to the epic conclusion, one of the best books I've read in a long time, Baz.
