Nose: The Gravid Queen & Wormhole Tendencies: Rings of Polaris Saga (A Rebel Lexis Prequel, Volume 1) (Unabridged‪)‬

Nose is the beginning of a new series in the Rings of Polaris Saga. And although the science-fiction listen slides off on a tangent, it is also a prequel of sorts to the author's best-selling novella Rebel Lexis. 

Mitchell Thacker and Captain Rengar Falger travel to a strange world seeking alien technology that will give their cause help in undermining their nemesis, the Polaris Corporation.
