Personal vendetta. Raging conspiracy. Doomsday scenario. A bounty hunter’s worst nightmare has come true. As Jack’s reputation increases, so does the size of the bounty on his own head, but that’s not the worst of it: The conspiracy he’s uncovered points to a doomsday scenario, an impending act of depraved violence with steep collateral damage—and it’s set to happen right on his home planet. As his list of enemies grows longer, bolder, and more desperate, the escalation of violence threatens to drag a secret war into the public limelight. Jack begrudgingly works with Fleet Intelligence to run his discovery to ground and strike before it’s too late—or his home planet will fall, and if it does… It may not end there.
