Perfect for you if...

  • You want space opera with real stakes: post-invasion Earth where the lines between collaborator and victim blur dangerously.
  • You enjoy character-driven sci-fi where the moral choice isn't obvious, especially when your target might be more valuable alive than dead.
  • You've loved Larry Correia or Mike Shepherd and want that same propulsive, high-concept adventure in a fresh voice.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer quieter, introspective science fiction focused on philosophy over plot momentum.
  • You need your heroes to be straightforwardly heroic. Nathan and Ben face genuine ethical quandaries without easy answers.
  • You want romance as a central thread. This is character-driven action where relationships complicate the mission rather than drive it.

About this book

Decades ago, alien Visitors arrived on Earth claiming to offer peace and prosperity, but their true objective was human subjugation. After a devastating war, humanity drove the Visitors back to Mars, leaving behind millions of human collaborators. Federal Recovery Agent Nathan Foster works to hunt down these former alien collaborators and bring them to justice. Foster is assigned to apprehend Emmogene Anderson, a woman who was experimented on by the Visitors as a teenager and implanted with a device allowing her to control other people. She travels with her obsessive ex-lover, a former commando in the Visitors' forces. The task seems straightforward, but Emmogene carries an additional implant of far greater significance. Foster and his partner Ben must determine what is right in a largely lawless world, with the planet's fate at stake. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
