Salamandiun's Switch

They have to hope for something better. Because right now, without hope, they have nothing.

Hoping to find Greeta, Sparks and Reyes land on Zurus, a hellish planet with a life expectancy of just seventeen minutes. It is a world trapped in near-permanent shadow, where if the citizens don't kill you, the flies will.

What drove Greeta to a place like this? And if they find her, will there be anything left to save?

On Karaquin, Gando follows his queen's brutal new zero-tolerance mandate, all while searching for proof that unseen forces are poisoning his world from within. Forces that have already reached the queen herself. If he can't make her see the truth, Karaquin may be lost. And exposing the evil polluting his planet could get him killed.

With both societies turning against them and danger closing in on every side, Sparks and Gando will do whatever it takes to save the people they love.

Because when darkness is all around you, hope may be the only weapon left.

Salamandiun's Switch is the eighth instalment in a grimdark space opera series of ruthless worlds, impossible choices, and heroes who keep fighting long after hope should be dead.
