How do you win a high-stakes game when you don’t even know you’re being played? Competent, driven, broken: Moira Dolan is a talented investigator who buries herself in work to hide from her past. She succeeded, until her brother, Keagan, wrecked her career. Now she works for the Proteus Collective. By night, she’s tormented by the same dream. By day, she’s assigned dead-end cases by Ferris - a boss who seems intent on making her fail. It appears personal, until Keagan goes missing and Ferris’ actions are cast in a whole new light... Moira thinks her latest assignment will have her chasing ghosts between the stars, but instead she uncovers a deadly conspiracy threatening the precarious balance between the galaxy’s major powers, one that could cost billions of lives. If you’re not predator, you’re prey. BACKGROUND What helps make epic space adventures like Isaac Asimov’s Foundation saga, Frank Herbert’s Dune series, Star Wars, and Star Trek so gripping?
