A military hero is coming out of disgrace-straight into the line of fire...

Carl Butler was once a decorated colonel. Now he's a disgraced recluse, hoping to live out the rest of his life on a backwater planet where no one cares about his “crimes” and everyone leaves him alone.

It's never that easy.

A CEO's daughter has gone missing and he thinks Butler is the only one who can find her. The government is only too happy to appease him. Butler isn't so sure, but he knows the pain of losing a daughter, so he reluctantly signs on. Soon he's on a military ship heading for a newly-formed colony where the dangerous jungle lurks just outside the domes where settlers live.

Paired with Mac, Ganos, and a government-assigned aide named Fader, Butler dives head-first into what should be an open and shut case. Then someone tries to blow him up. Faced with an incompetent local governor, a hamstrung military, and corporations playing fast and loose with the laws, Butler finds himself in familiar territory. He's got nobody to trust but himself, but that's where he works best. He'll fight to get to the bottom of the mystery, but this time, he might not live to solve it.

Editorial Reviews

FEBRUARY 2021 - AudioFile

Narrator R.C. Bray's commanding voice perfectly suits this story of a disgraced colonel and a CEO's missing daughter. Carl Butler hoped to live out his days on an ignored planet but agrees to take on what should be a simple case: finding a missing daughter. He heads to a new colony, where he is soon on familiar ground as he encounters explosions and a corrupt government. Bray's narration features strong character differentiation. The story's twists and turns build intrigue as Bray keeps the plot thundering forward. Both fans of the series and newcomers will fall under Bray's spell as he delivers this relatively self-contained, well-plotted sci-fi adventure. J.M.M.
