One last job. How hard can it be?
The Colonial War ends in one hour. For Isabel Rocarion, there’s just one thing left to do: collect her last payment before her client, the Colonial resistance, goes bust without any bailouts.
Call her a smuggler at your own peril. Isabel is a gunrunner, the best of the best. But now she’s looking to retire from the game before the game ends her.
Retirement on the rich medical world of Procyon doesn’t come cheap. But Isabel’s biggest ever pay check means she must break her most steadfast rule: the gunrunner must become a smuggler.
A feisty gunrunner. A cute chameleon-monkey. A black ops Corporal. An ex-Space Marine fugitive from justice. A morose spymaster. A host of Earth military. A bunch of Colonial rebels. Secrets. Lies. Fights in space.
