Hard Reset
Cal Bennett has a problem: an entire colony's been slaughtered, and the galaxy's blaming him.
He didn't build the weapon. But it was made from the same kind of cells that live inside Cal… and it was field-tested on a settlement full of protesters who were days from going public against their employer. Now the weapon's creators want the source, and they think Cal knows where it is.
Two people can vouch for his innocence, but they've been sitting in an Axiom dungeon for a year.
Between Cal and them: a corporation that needs him alive, a cult that's decided he's the harbinger of doom, and a woman with a private army and a very personal grudge.
All Cal's got is a ship he can't legally dock, a companion bot who isn't allowed to throw a punch, and the AI in his head--who hasn't been the same since the upgrade that nearly killed them both.
Hunted across the stars. Out of time. Out of options.
Then the bounty hunter sent to bring him in offers him a deal.
Trusting her is the dumbest thing he could do.
It's also his only choice.
