To wake a lost girl from the ice, two brothers must face an empire. Deep in the Far Outworlds, a derelict space station holds the bones of a long-dead people—and a beautiful young woman locked in cryofreeze. When the star-wandering brothers Isaac and Aaron Deltana find the sleeping girl, they soon realize that they are her only hope for rescue. If they don't take her, then slavers certainly will. With no way to revive her, they set a course for the New Pleiades in hopes of finding someone who can help. But a storm is brewing over that region of space. After a series of brutal civil wars, the Gaian Empire has turned its sights outward. A frontier war is on the verge of breaking out, and the brothers are about to be caught in the middle of it. They both harbor a secret, though. Somewhere else in the Outworlds is another derelict station—one that they used to call home. That secret will either bind them together or draw them apart in SONS OF THE STARFARERS BOOK I: BROTHERS IN EXILE

Brothers in Exile is the story of John Exile (White), who at age 16 was convicted of horse stealing in Buckinghamshire, England in 1812. After one of his brothers was hanged, John and the remaining two brothers were transported to Australia in 1813 accompanied by a retired sea Captain and a Reverend on a mission to New Zealand. The story follows the real-life adventures of the White brothers and their contemporaries from the early days of the Macquarie penal Colony throughout the nineteenth century. While John Exile was assigned as a convict servant to Captain William Hovell, he escaped to India, while his brother James White was sent to Windsor and the eldest brother, Thomas was transported to Van Diemen's Land.The adventures of the brothers finally come together in a place discovered by James White called Burrangong, where the story is taken up by John Exile's daughter Sarah with her Uncle James, the founder of the NSW town of Young. Three more brothers in exile from Ireland arrive in the area and Sarah's husband discovers gold on the property. The saga further unfolds with tales of explorers, squatters, aborigines, droughts, floods, race riots and bushrangers. Migrants like James Struthers risk their fortune and replace convicts in the latter part of the nineteenth century and Sarah lives to tell the tale of this important piece of Australian pioneering history - until the age of 104.

The more they researched, the more fascinating the information became. Fortunately Isackson had already written a hugely successful first book (and an updated version some years later) about his Rock and Roll career. He had the skills and enthusiasm to now gather this new (to him) true and wonderful material about his family into a book which encompasses one of the most fascinating and tough eras of Australian history and describes the antics of many colourful characters so well-known to us all, whose paths crossed with those of Leon's ancestors again and again. Sydney-born Leon Isackson enjoyed a career as a drummer extraordinaire in the most exciting era of Australian Rock and Roll, performing in what were to become famous bands, in fact great icons of those heady years. He began with Dig Richards & The R'jays in 1959, which became The Rajahs in 1964 and Johnny O'Keefe's backing band for three years. He entertained the troops in Vietnam with Lucky Starr and then Eden Kane; this led to the creation of the Australian Overseas Forces Entertainment Fund. Other famous names Isackson either toured with or recorded and arranged for were The Chant, The Delltones, Johnny Farnham, Russell Morris and the amazing Winifred Atwell with whom he played for several years. In the 90s he co-founded The Mighty Guys with guitarist, Mick Hamilton, which made three successful albums for Glenn A Baker. Based on his diaries from 1956 to 1966, Isackson's first book, Behind the Rock, co-authored with the late Jon Hayton, was released by Time-Life in 1990 to rave reviews. It was then released again by Sid Harta in 2010 as Behind the Rock and Beyond, updated by Isackson to 1980.Leon Isackson lives on the Northern Beaches in Sydney with his family and, as well as writing and researching, continues to play and write music.
