Tom Young - Griffin

Over a century into the future, the world is in the midst of a savage war. A Marine, tormented by his own sorrowful past, is assigned to an orbiting space station to help work on a prototype vessel which finally might help win the war. A mad man tries to use the current technology in an attempt to commit the genocide of the human race. The Marine must not only confront the genocidal lunatic, but attempt to stop the insanity playing out before him. All those that he cared about were killed and he only hopes he can somehow put a stop to the destruction of the world he called home. During a desperate attempt to stop the cataclysmic destruction, the Marine is cast out into the cold of space.

Three hundred years later, mankind is now traveling the stars in Humanity's latest ship, but the effort has cost the crew more trouble than seems worth their effort. The UESS Vincent Capadanno is currently undergoing repairs next to a giant planet in a lifeless solar system. While attempting to locate the needed resources to get the large ship running, the crew discovers a vessel from Earth's past and a single man at the helm of the derelict ship. This discovery has brought a troublesome mystery for the leaders aboard the Capadanno. The man is revived but in the process, clues are discovered to the most devastating period in Earth's history. Griffin is the first part in the story of Tom Young and the evils he must face.
