How Warrior’s Wings Began
Evan Currie, a self-published author with a knack for storytelling, launched the Warrior’s Wings series (also known as the Hayden War Cycle) in 2011 with On Silver Wings. A former computer science graduate and lobster industry worker, Currie’s true passion lay in crafting tales that blend plausible science with pulse-pounding action. Inspired by classic military sci-fi and his love for immersive world-building, he created a universe where humanity faces its first hostile alien encounter. His goal? To write stories that feel as real as they are exhilarating, grounded in believable tech and human resilience.
Currie’s self-publishing journey allowed him creative freedom, letting him focus on character-driven narratives and intricate plots. The series’ inception marked a bold step for Currie, whose engaging style quickly earned him a loyal following among sci-fi enthusiasts hungry for fresh voices in the genre.
The Heart of Warrior’s Wings
The series kicks off with On Silver Wings, where Sergeant Sorilla Aida, the sole survivor of a special forces unit, lands on Hayden’s World—a human colony gone silent. Facing unknown alien invaders, she rallies local survivors for guerrilla warfare, wielding a depleted power suit and her unyielding spirit. The sequel, Valkyrie Rising, escalates the conflict as human forces counterattack, while Valkyrie Burning dives deeper into the alien Alliance’s motives, blending ground battles with space fleet showdowns. The series concludes with Among Enemies, where Sorilla seeks answers about the war’s origins, delivering a satisfying, if open-ended, finale.
Warrior’s Wings shines through its themes of resilience, sacrifice, and humanity’s defiance against overwhelming odds. Currie’s vivid descriptions of futuristic weapons and alien tech immerse readers in a believable yet fantastical universe. The series balances intense action with character growth, particularly Sorilla’s evolution from a lone soldier to a strategic leader. Its setting—a colonized galaxy teetering on the brink of interstellar war—adds layers of intrigue, while the alien Alliance’s enigmatic culture keeps readers guessing.
Currie’s writing style is fast-paced and accessible, with a focus on action over political drama. Fans praise the series for its blend of ground and space combat, bolstered by Sorilla’s compelling arc as a kick-ass yet relatable heroine. The technological detail, rooted in plausible science, adds authenticity without overwhelming the narrative.
Why Warrior’s Wings Resonates
Warrior’s Wings has left a mark on military sci-fi by offering a fresh take on the alien invasion trope. Its focus on a strong female lead and realistic military tactics sets it apart, appealing to readers who crave both action and depth. The series’ cult following lauds Currie’s ability to humanize characters amid galactic chaos, making Sorilla a standout protagonist in a genre often dominated by male heroes.
Its lasting appeal lies in its blend of accessibility and ambition. By self-publishing, Currie tapped into a niche audience, proving that indie authors can rival traditional heavyweights. The series’ open-ended nature hints at potential expansions, keeping fans hopeful for more adventures in the Hayden War universe.
