When an assassin kills a Ritruvian official using an illegal bioweapon, the galaxy teeters on the edge of war. My team must locate the remaining weapons and shut down Tazza Industries, the company that developed them.
I have history with Tazza. Six months ago, they used me as a test subject, implanting a cutting-edge chip into my brain designed for espionage and covert operations. Instead of killing me, it gave me a deadly advantage—and a purpose.
To take them down and avoid an interplanetary war, I’ll need to confront my darkest fears—and trust the lethal skills I never wanted.
Heather Texle is an American science-fiction author who writes sci-fi crime novels featuring high-stakes investigations, spacefaring adventure, and complex characters. Her work blends science fiction and mystery into gritty, fast-paced stories with competent but flawed characters facing difficult choices.
She didn’t begin writing until her thirties—proof that it’s never too late to start telling bold, imaginative stories. Inspired by a chance encounter at an author event, she went on to pen her award-winning Reliance Sinclair series, beginning with On Impulse. Drawing on a background in philosophy, law, and martial arts, she brings authenticity and depth to her futuristic worlds.
Heather lives in Minnesota where she’s usually busy plotting her next adventure, whether it involves reading, writing, or traveling.
