WARNING. Rated: R. Restricted. Contains space battles, killer AI, intergalactic ass-kicking. Read at own risk. She is programmed to kill. He’ll do anything to survive. Ex-con Captain Caleb Shepperd believes being good is overrated. All he wants is to smuggle illegal cargo through the nine systems and live a prosperous (likely short) life on the wrong side of the law. But there's a problem with that plan. The priceless synthetic stowaway on his ship is a distraction he doesn't need. Torn between selling her and tossing her out the airlock, Shepperd fails to realize the synth is a killer, and he's the one locked in her sights. In a world where only one thousand synthetics were built, synthetic number One Thousand and One should not exist. She is no ordinary synth. Memories locked inside her code could bring Shepperd—and the entire nine systems—to its knees. Captain Shepperd and the oppressive corporations are about to learn that you can't hide from the sins of your past, especially when that past has orders to kill. WARNING: 18+ only. Contains adult content, including sex, drug use, violence, and swearing. Older cover editions of this ASIN can be found here & here.

Alternate title & cover edition of ASIN B00WBNT0IW Book 2 in The 1000 Revolution series "There’s no quicker way to get yourself killed than trusting someone in the black." ~ Caleb. Caleb Shepperd knows Fran has her own motives for helping him escape prison, but he’s not about to let a little thing like past betrayal stand in the way of his next paycheck. Until he’s forced to meet with the sexy and psychotic pirate, Adelina Cande. They’ve met before. When he seduced her, cleared out her credit account, and left her for dead in-the-black. Caleb figures Adelina holds a grudge when she plants a bomb on his ship and demands he steal a fleet freighter for her, that is, if he ever wants to fly again. Get him drunk enough and he’ll try anything once, but this time, he has to balance his own greed, with the needs of a vengeful pirate and the scheming of his dubious second-in-command, Fran. What could possibly go wrong? In the heart of Chitec headquarters, #1001 enlists an eager young technician to aid in her escape. But it’s not freedom she wants. It’s revenge. The memories of a life that don’t belong to her demand she finishes what she started.

"When are you going to stop running, Caleb?"

Caleb can't make the same mistake twice. Can he? #1001 has a price on her head. The Fenrir Nine and Chitec will stop at nothing to secure her secrets.

“I didn’t sign up to die a hero.” ~ Caleb. Chen Hung closes in. The nine systems hang perilously close to a second fatal Blackout. Billions of lives are at stake. Does Captain Caleb Shepperd have what it takes to save the nine systems, or just himself? Caleb never wanted to be a hero. That was his brother’s dream. Keep it simple, get away clean. Flying a ship packed with explosives into Janus orbit station isn’t simple, and there ain’t no way he’s getting away clean. He knows the Fenrir Nine have sent him on a suicide mission, but he’s not about to lay down his life for them. He’s not a hero, and he sure ain’t no fool despite what the Nine must think. There’s another way, he just has to figure it out before the bomb he’s carrying ticks down to zero. One survived; against the odds, the brutality, and the betrayal, she survived, but inside, in the part of her that’s real, she’s broken. Broken in ways that cannot be fixed. She’s going back to where it all began, to Janus—to Chitec, to the ‘man’ who made her. It will take all that she is, all that she was, and all that she could be, to save the nine systems from the synthetics. She will not fail. “I am One, and I cannot be stopped.”

"You can't say no to a pistol in the face." ~ Caleb Bren's missing with a bounty on his head, which isn't Caleb's problem, until Turner Candelario makes it Caleb's problem. But why does a pirate with an ax to grind suddenly want to work with the down-and-out captain who killed his sister? Coded messages. Abandoned mining outposts. And Fran's keeping secrets. The mission stinks worse than the iron mines, but what else is there to do in the Nine systems now Caleb's trying to fly-right? Besides, Bren's bounty looks mighty tempting. One should be dead, but death didn't stop her before. Chitec is gone, the Nine systems left in disarray, and in the chaos, One moves among them like a ghost, seeing what others cannot: a new malevolent force rises. A force One has encountered before. And caught in the middle of it all? Brendan Shepperd. Chitec was just the beginning. The true 1000 Revolution begins now... \\\* Caleb and the crew of the stolen Fortuitous are back. Vengeful pirates, bitter betrayal, gratuitous sex, missing synths, and more... You didn't think it was all over... Did you? Please note: This series was previously known as Girl From Above.

"This shit is why you always kill the bad guy." Wanted dead or alive by the law and every criminal this side of the jump gates, there's only one place Caleb and his crew can hide: Jotunheim. All the crap in the Nine systems washes up there. With their rustbucket tugship Starkiller about to cough its last space-mile and credits scarce, raiding a few scrappers rigs is a last resort. Scrappers are hard bastards, but then so is Caleb. Stealing from the bad guys should be easy, if Caleb's crew can get their shit together. The pressure is on. Trust is a joke. And then there's One. New and improved but just like her old self? Or not... One says there's a revolution brewing, and she'd know. Synthetics move among us, their strings pulled by a mad man. The Nine Systems teeters on the edge of a war it can't see coming, and Caleb's crew might be all that stands in its way. Sometimes it takes bad guys to kill bad guys, and if Caleb's crew have learned anything together, it's how to be bad.
