The Handler's Gambit

Play the game.  
Murder the innocent.  
Don't let them see you sweat.

In the wrong hands, trust becomes a weapon.

Commander Boone wears a perfect mask inside a ruthless warlord's fleet: model officer, elite strategist, reliable on any mission. But Boone isn't loyal — he's sabotaging the warlord from the inside, hiding a secret that can save thousands of lives… if it doesn't get him executed first.

His exit strategy hinges on the warlord's most volatile asset: an assassin with elemental powers and an agenda of her own. She's the key to his escape–and the biggest risk in his plan.

As suspicion tightens and the warlord's hunt closes in on an innocent rival, Boone has one move left: a gambit that sacrifices safety for freedom with a razor-thin chance at survival.

The Handler's Gambit is an award-winning, character-driven space opera packed with action, twists, and biological "magic."
