About the Book

Young Ross Tillman cannot wait to get out of school and pursue his dream of owning his own ship. Struggling against what seems to be his genetic fate, Ross is determined to avoid following his father into a career in local industry. The manufacture and sale of the narcotic tubinj is the economic cornerstone of Messar, but Ross is determined to escape from its pull. For Stanley Myres, Chancellor of the galactic Senate, the writing appears to be on the wall. His political position is becoming more tenuous by the day, as rival factions in the Senate seem poised to enact a coup d'état. In an attempt to retain control, he utilises his secret paramilitary forces and hatches a violent scheme that casts Messar into a state of civil war. Overlord of exiled superpower Padakan House, Elam Padakan wants to create a better galaxy, with himself at its head. When the opportunity to liberate Messar from the Senate presents itself, he sees it as a chance to achieve everything he has ever striven for. There's just one problem: he hasn't even told his own brother what his true intentions are. All three men are drawn into the civil war on Messar, and as their paths begin to intersect and tangle together, they come to realise that the galaxy has very different plans for all of their dreams. The Lesser Evil is a book that examines what it means to have a dream... and what that dream can end up costing, regardless of whether it comes true.

Review :
"Game of Thrones - Galactic Version" ... "Epic but deeply personal" "A quick and easy read, fast paced and action packed." "A page turner, from start to finish" ... "Left me eager for the next book." "Set in the future, but it reads like the world here and now" ... "Enough blam-boom fighting to entertain, and plenty of plot to keep the brain engaged." "The disparate tales of the main characters are coming together, and it feels natural and unforced." ... "I'd recommend the series to anyone who likes sci-fi with a suggestion of space opera and a focus on the power plays behind the scenes." "While the setting of the story, and the issues of the civil war on Messar, are interesting in their own ways, it is the well-crafted characters that make The Lesser Evil something special." "A well-realised world and a thought-provoking story." "One of those hidden gem graphic novels that tend to slip through the cracks" "It's like Star Wars met Game of Thrones" ... "An intelligent science fiction narrative filled with political intrigue and raw emotion. The art style perfectly conveys the feeling of the galaxy the Mr Smith has created and his characters will leave a definite impression. A witty and deep graphic novel that is a must read." "The Lesser Evil is a great riff on some classic science fiction themes that cracks along at a great pace. Strong action set pieces are overlaid on some deeper themes of revenge and redemption..." "And one of my favorite things about good science fiction is here in abundance: we have a rich experience of different worlds and socities that play out through the civil war between the Confederacy and the Padakan Empire but it's also all eminently relatable to contemporary and historical events and experiences of 21st century humans."
