The Betrayal of Ka

The Betrayal of Ka is about the spread of a galactic empire as it seeks out habitable planets throughout the galaxy to exploit. It is about the politics and machinations of factions maneuvering for position and perhaps dominance. Their ascendance has happened as a result of Transprophetics who hold the potential to cause an evolutionary leap for humankind on whatever planet they arise.

The novel is also about Ka, and his humanity. Branded as a murderer of the worst kind and sent to earth as a bodyguard and trained killer to hunt and eliminate any Transprophetics he may find, this novel is really about his choices and his inner struggle with his demons and what he discovers about his race and himself. It is this human element that drives the story and propels it forward. While the political intrigue can be dry and a bit of a slog to get through, once the pieces are in place and the journey is made to earth, the story picks up speed and the game is on.

Condemned. Judged. Sentenced. Can you forgive yourself for your past, or are you forever damned? Sent to Earth to kill, Ka must define who he really is. As the spaceship secretly lands on Earth, Ka’s mission is clear: find and kill Transprophetics. His shipmates think of him as a killer. On his home planet of Koranth, he is considered a murderer. Haunted in his dreams by the boy whose life he stole, Ka struggles to define who he really is. A girl in a temple in Thailand. A boy kidnapped in Mexico. Both can do the impossible. Both can move objects with their minds. These two Transprophetics pose grave risks to the Donovackia Corporation as it plans its invasion of Earth. With a blade in his hand, Ka’s decision to kill, or not, will reverberate across the galaxy.
Really enjoyable read. Love anything with telekinesis. 5*.
