Wild Nines

2017

For Davin and his veteran mercenary crew, running security on Europa should’ve been easy, and was, until a deadly mistake makes the Wild Nines the number one enemy in the solar system. With his ragtag crew, Davin has to find out what happened and why, all the while outrunning merciless authorities and powerful people that would like it very much if the Wild Nines just dropped dead. But Davin has a habit of disappointing people who wish him harm, and he’s not going to stop until he clears his crew’s name, and makes sure the ones who crossed his crew wish they never had. \Wild Nines\ is the first novel in \The Wild Nines\ series, a fast-paced, action-driven space opera set in a corporate-controlled solar system where laws are profit-driven, and survival often depends on how fast you are on the draw. If you’re looking for a gripping, sci-fi adventure, you’ve found it: pick up \Wild Nines\ today and enjoy the ride!

Dark Ice (Mercenaries, #2) (

2017

From a Goodreads review of Dark Ice : Better than the first. The story is very nice and the characters are even further developed. - A.H. Davin's got himself blackmailed, and getting out from under dirty fingers means flying to the edge of profitable space. Turns out Neptune makes some shiny ice diamonds. They're so valuable that pirates hijacked the experimental ship sent to mine them. Now, if they want their names cleared, the Wild Nines have to get it back. Viola's trying to find her place on the crew, which means that when things go sideways, her fingers has to be on the trigger, not running from it. It's a new perspective, a dangerous one. Davin, Viola, and the rest of the Wild Nines have to deal with the deadly band of space pirates, who, turns out, might have some friends, or Neptune's cold skies will make for an icy grave.

I spin stories in a frosty house in Madison, WI, primarily owned by a pair of cats. After getting sucked into the working grind in the economic crash of the 2008, I found myself spending boring meetings soaring through space and going on grand adventures. Eventually, spending time with podcasting, screenplays, short stories and other novels, I found a story I could fall into and a cast of characters both entertaining and full of heart. That story became Wild Nines, and eventually became a trilogy. I've got a basket, maybe even a barrel of ideas for more stories coming after these, so if you'd like to see what I'm scribing, feel free to visit me at adamrknight.com or sign up for my newsletter at http://bit.ly/bkbnewswn. Thanks for reading!
