Book Four - 600x800Rath’s Trial

Rath thought that defeating the Janus Group and stealing back his hard-earned fortune might help ease his guilty conscience. But when he returns to the planet Scapa to find the woman he loves, his past crimes finally catch up to him. And the police aren’t Rath’s only concern: someone’s put a price on his head. Rath will need to figure out who his new enemy is if he wants to stay alive. His old friend Beauceron can’t help him – especially not when Rath’s former colleague, Paisen Oryx, is the primary suspect in the detective’s latest investigation. The three former allies each work to unravel the truth in a growing conspiracy … but will fate bring them together as friends, or enemies?

Gambit - 600x800Rath just assassinated a senator, and completed his final mission for the Janus Group. Now every Interstellar Police officer on Alberon is searching for him. If they don’t find him, one of his fellow contractors certainly will … and the most feared criminal organization in the galaxy has severe punishments for employees who break the rules. Rath’s only hope is to find the rogue contractor who helped him escape a company deathtrap after his final mission. United, the two assassins might just get free from the Janus Group and get what they’re owed. But first they’ll need to survive.

Super excited to reveal the cover for Rath’s Deception – Book 1 in the Janus Group series. Coming next month!

Deception - 600x800

(click for bigger)  Many thanks to my cover designer, James, who did a fantastic job on the typography and design elements. The artwork is courtesy of the legendary John Harris, and if the style looks familiar, that’s because his art has graced the covers of  Ender’s Game, several of John Scalzi’s books, and Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch series.  I’m still somewhat amazed I was able to secure the rights…feel like one of those guys that found a Picasso in his attic.  And wait until you see Book 2 and 3… 🙂

 

Rath’s Deception

On the cut-throat streets of Tarkis, orphaned teens like Rath end up jailed … or dead. So when the shadowy Janus Group offers Rath a chance to earn riches beyond his wildest dreams, he seizes it. But the Janus Group is as ruthless as the elite assassins it controls. Rath will have to survive their grueling, off-world training, and fulfill all fifty kills in his contract before a single cent comes his way. And ending so many lives comes with a price Rath can’t anticipate. It’ll certainly cost him what’s left of his innocence. It may well cost him his life.

For a limited time, you can get your free copy of the New York Times Bestseller, Combat and Other Shenanigans, directly from this site.
