Runaway Nemesis

When the galaxy’s most unlikely warriors meet its most dangerous deserter…
Survival becomes the least likely outcome.

Captain Jace Jones has survived deadly war games, dilapidated teleportation tech, and the nonstop sarcasm of his ship’s AI pilot. But when a seven-foot cyborg “admiral” storms aboard demanding an ancient bounty, Jace’s bad week goes supercritical.

Overpowered and outgunned, the Aetherwing is saved only when an even bigger warship appears, fortuitously hunting the admiral. As it turns out, their uninvited guest is none other than the prototype soldier of the Nemesis Collective: a hive-minded army of cybernetic killers. And now, he’s on the run.

With a relentless battlefleet closing in, Jace and his dubious crew find themselves playing interstellar hide-and-seek with seemingly no escape. The payoff for handing the fugitive over could solve all their problems. The price? Their souls. And maybe their heads too.

In a galaxy where every deal is a trap and every ally has an angle, Jace will need every ounce of nerve, courage and more than a little bit of luck, just to keep his crew – and his ship – in one piece.
