The Rail Heist

Junior Cadet Ester DuTain is well into her third year at her planet's most prestigious military academy, The Rean Coalition of Rangers. After a rocky start and more action than Ester could have ever wished for, Ester is settling into the cadet life quite nicely.

However, deep in the Great Adum-La Desert, a string of seemingly benign hijackings are taking place aboard the desert hover rails. The culprits, a mysterious group of bandits, not from Ester's world, are on a hunt for something. But what? Ester's field training team is assigned the case, making this the team's first real mission.

But what starts off as a routine mission quickly turns into a high stakes rail heist against a new enemy whose power rivals the Ranger elite. Caught in the crossfire Ester must contend with the enemy in the desert as well as haunting new revelations about her past. New revelations that could threaten everything she's worked hard to gain.
