    About this ebook

    This prequel story to Survival Instincts finds Daniel Bennett serving hard time on the Holt penal station. Outed as a former cop, he doesn't stand a chance.

Instead, he attempts a precarious balancing act between Bennett the cop and Bennett the convict. But when an asteroid mining accident leaves him and two convicts adrift and short of air, he must choose. Cop or con?
