The Stowaway Experiment: Dominion Rising

By Katherine Bogle

The Smugglers Legion is gone.

Captain Eria is in a work camp.

Rikkard is all that’s left.

After the Smugglers Legion disbands, Rikkard Gunnar is left to captain the few remaining members. With no credits left, and only one hovercraft, Rikkard risks everything when he takes a mission to infiltrate a Dominion laboratory. He gets way more than he bargained for when he meets a young woman with no memory of who she is or where she’s come from.

The Stowaway Experiment is a tie-in short story taking place before The Aldar Dominion, the first book in the Dominion Rising series.

Sleek silver speeders of every class shot around the lab—the Alliance causing their distraction. Rikkard switched off autopilot, prompting a set of handles to pop from the dashboard. He steered around the battle to the hillside.

He needed to fulfill his contract. He needed this money. They needed this money. The smugglers would be lost without it.

Ever since Captain Eria, the leader of the Smugglers Legion, had been taken away by the Aldar Dominion side of the government and sentenced to life in a work camp, the Legion had fallen apart. It was left to him to pick up the pieces and take care of the few remaining members.

Rikkard clicked through the ship’s navigation, a long control panel that wrapped the head of the hovercraft. Buttons lit green, blue, and red as he engaged the weapon’s system. He had to get into the laboratory somehow.
