Although The Scarf is great to read as a stand-alone adventure, PJ McDermott's fantastic space adventure series is best read in chronological order:

What readers are saying about this series.

“A Great read. Had me at the first chapter. Did not want to stop. Love the plot, the storyline, the action!!”

“Great characters; storyline with action, drama, and fast-paced intrigue; and unique description of an alien planet, society and its population. Highly recommended. I would get other books in the series.”

“McDermott creates a very original and hopeful future world similar to the kind of sci fi I grew up loving. His alien characters are delightful and believable. I could not wait to read the second book, Rise of the Erlachi which is even better!”

“This is a full-blown outer space action adventure. Well described characters and a story that has a nice flow to it. I read it straight thru cover to cover.”
