Shattered Worlds

When Vatic, a hard-nosed Skilled investigator, is sent undercover to an enemy prison planet on a mission to discover its secrets, little does he know what he is getting into.

Vatic has survived wars, bioships, betrayals, and the kind of jobs that come with a deadly expiry date. And this job is no different. He wakes up hauled out of hypersleep, dropped into enemy territory, and handed a mission he's not designed for. He's an investigator, not a spy, not that that matters to the Company.

He soon realises this mission is unlike any other. If he pushes too hard, he gets exposed. If he waits too long, he gets abandoned. And then there's Totka. Spelt with a capital T for Trouble. A girl he can't read. A girl who suspects he isn't who he says he is. A girl he can't get out of his mind.

On Calef, faith is a weapon, secrets buy survival, and asking questions is the fastest way to die. Vatic finds himself fighting prison inmates, the system, and the ugly truth inside his own head.

Is his psyche splintering? Or is the real mystery buried deeper than the planet itself?

If you like your sci-noir paranoid, your twists psychological, and your revenge seriously warped, then join Vatic on the prison planet of Calef.

Shattered Worlds is the third book of the Vatic Trilogy.
