“'A Matter of Time' is a masterclass in blending intense action with emotional depth. A dark narrative that grips the reader from the first pages and digs its claws in deeply. The story is a living demonstration of exceptional skill in world-building, crafting a vivid and menacing alien environment that is an ever-present antagonist itself." - Makar Rusakov The Frontier had, for eons, been a place of wild exploration and Expansion for the Velkin Empire and its people. That was until the hostile invasion of an unsettling and brutal enemy. Just before the decimating attacks began, only one warning was ever given. We are Kaajnint. We have come. Frontier Lunas Hub D8Z7 For Sen, a civilian contractor, the ongoing war was a distant concern. Her chosen contract placed her far away from the fighting, making her greatest worry the potential for a romance gone wrong. The gorgeous Elite Lieutenant captured Sen’s attention and frayed her self-imposed boundaries, drawing her in to accept a simple invitation. A night of risky pleasures proved to be too great a temptation to resist. Then the novanet died. Medical Officer Feem knew the stakes when the System posted her to the Frontier. Faced with an environment full of predators, she had taken the necessary steps to secure protection for herself. Feem had grown confident that she would make it out of this posting in one piece. Then the screaming began. As an Elite without a squad, Triel was tasked with preparing an abandoned outpost to serve Expansion efforts, regardless of the alien threat that plagued the Frontier. Haunted by war-time losses, she, along with her commander, strove to harness a secret that would fuel both revenge and freedom alike. Then time ran out.
