Kaine's Rebellion

Marooned on a planet gripped by civil war.
Hunted by both sides.
Hayden Kaine has nowhere left to run.

In the fourth book of this space opera series, Hayden Kaine and the crew of the renegade starship, Scimitar, are on the run. But after years of avoiding involvement in the conflicts of the isolated worlds they visit, fate finally catches up with them over the desert world, Oberon.

Caught between warring factions in a decades long civil war, the Scimitar is destroyed, marooning Hayden and Cora, the ship's human/AI hybrid.

But the damaged and dying Cora claims that Scimitar has somehow survived the battle and calls to her across inter-dimensional space.

Only the alien technology aboard their ship can heal her, but does Scimitar still exist, or is Cora's growing madness overwhelming her reason?

Hayden Kaine must decide what to do, but will following his heart to save his only surviving friend end in both of their deaths? And, even if by some stroke of luck he finds Scimitar, can Cora still be rescued from the brink of insanity?

Kaine's Rebellion is the newest book in the Shattered Empire Series:

Kaine's Sanction
