About this ebook
Join a shameless scoundrel as he grifts his way across the galaxy in this fun, fast-paced space opera!
Levi is an interstellar con artist: all charm, no conscience. His only real love is his spaceship, Caerus—his symbol of status and freedom— which he is forced to surrender as loan collateral. Desperate to get his ship back, Levi swindles a valuable antimatter-tech blueprint from an alien diplomat, which he plans to sell to the highest bidder.
Levi is an interstellar con artist: all charm, no conscience. His only real love is his spaceship, Caerus—his symbol of status and freedom— which he is forced to surrender as loan collateral. Desperate to get his ship back, Levi swindles a valuable antimatter-tech blueprint from an alien diplomat, which he plans to sell to the highest bidder.
To decode the document, Levi hires Vera, a programmer whose inherited debt to the local mafia keeps her trapped on an asteroid in the galactic backwater. Certain that Levi is merely using her, she plans to steal the blueprint for her creditors and finally gain her freedom.
Their alliance is plagued by fiery tension, betrayals, and an impossible choice when the blueprint reveals a terrible secret that could spell the end for the entirety of Humanity. These two deplorables are the only ones who can save their species now, if only they can set aside their differences and work together. . .
