Deception

By Jeremiah Kleckner

The empire has fallen and war rages across the galaxy between the Alliance and the Shogol Network. Loyalist Malik Carthen now captains the Swift Destiny under the banner of the Alliance in the hopes of maintaining peace. But when a critical mission to retrieve cargo from an elusive smuggler goes wrong, Malik and his crew discover long-hidden secrets that could throw the galaxy into chaos.
