Awaking aboard an alien warship thousands of light years from earth, Jeremiah discovers that he has been used as a pawn to fight a galactic war between the Citadel and the rebel forces that oppose them. When he is released by one of his captors with the promise to rescue a kidnapped family, Jeremiah finds that his hopes of returning to earth have been shattered. During his journey Jeremiah finds a past he had forgotten and is left with answers to a reality he is unprepared to face.

The pieces are falling into place. “In Memory Alone” was just the beginning. After discovering the library of Polar the ship builder on the barren world of Vor’oshaven, and rescuing prisoners from the planet Cassess O’Learvs in “Crossroads of the World”. Jeremiah is ready to take the next step. He has a ship and a crew, now he needs weapons. Aqualon: The “Tales of the Lost Empire,” entice Jeremiah and fill his thoughts of wonder and excitement. The fables of the dead kingdom are told as bed time stories across the galaxy. Yet every story has a hint of truth. The people of the lost Empire were believed to be warriors of sound and shadow and wield weapons of devastation and dismay. Weapons desperately needed if Jeremiah is to wage war against the Hy’dirian Citadel and free the broken planets in their grip. As the third chapter in Talon’s Epic begins, Jeremiah and his freedom fighters fall victim to the history of Aqualon and each are subjugated to the terrors of the planets past. Separated, tested and studied, Jeremiah must prove his good intentions to the planet’s custodian. That the use of Aqualon’s technologies will be used for the purpose intended: The defeat of the Citadel. With time running out and his very existence on the line Jeremiah comes face to face with the idea that he and his crew will be trapped – prisoners forever in Aqualon’s twisted past, while the Citadel runs amok, waging war and destruction on an even wider scale.
