A fugitive captured.
A hero forsaken.
A secret revealed.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Three days. That’s what they promised. But on Earth the danger is unrelenting, and promises are hard to keep.
Now Sheriff Duke is the one on the run, chased by an unexpected enemy eager to finish what they started. An enemy with an agenda that begins with killing him but ends with something worse.
Much, much worse.
Once the secret is out, the universe will never be the same…
Some things are meant to stay forgotten...
Former Centurion Space Force Captain Nathan Stacker is a criminal. He isn’t proud of it, but the truth is there aren’t many options for men like him in a place like Proxima — humankind’s closest settlement to Earth. It’s surprisingly hard to make a clean start on a planet with a population of over one hundred million, and the only thing keeping him out of a containment center is a job as a courier for the Trust — the planet's ruthless crime syndicate. It isn’t the life he dreamed of when he entered the Space Force, but at least he has a wife who loves him.
Everything changes when Nathan returns home to find her violently murdered, killed over a dangerous secret he never knew she held. Charged with her homicide, desperate to uncover the truth and avenge her death, Nathan launches a bold escape to the only place in the universe he thinks he’ll be safe: Earth.
He couldn’t be more wrong.
He’s about to learn that some secrets are bigger than a planet. Some secrets are impossible to escape. And some secrets have the power to destroy more than one life and more than one world.
Some secrets have the power to destroy everything.
Hayley, Quark, and the Riders are finding it hard to trust anything after a series of betrayals has left them battered and on the run, heading for a safe haven to regroup and reload.
If they want to have any hope of preventing an intergalactic war, they’ll need to break onto one of the most highly secured planets in the galaxy and pull off one of the most unexpected heists ever committed.
When friends reveal themselves as enemies and enemies become allies, there’s only one thing left to do:
Throw caution to the stars, take the leap, and make the single shot.
With the memory of their losses fresh on Hayley and Quark’s minds, they head for a meet up with the only individual in the galaxy who might be able to help them handle the coming storm.
But the enemy always seems to be one step ahead of them, ready to intercept at every turn and forcing them to make even more sacrifices along the way.
When they’re put at a crossroads of trusting someone they don’t or not trusting someone they do, they’ll only have one choice:
Lay everything on the line, soldier up, and double down.
