    About this series

    In this, the third book of the Tyranny Series, it is the year 2370, and the colonies of Earth are breathing a collective two year sigh of relief. The constant barrage of attacks by Amanda Callin and her hoard of thugs have ceased, but did Callin really go away? Did she lose her resolve for seeking revenge against the colonies that caused her to disband her bedraggled gang of cutthroats forever? Bountiful, the gangster planet, is reformed and rapidly emerging as a valued member of the colonies, Elise finds herself there looking for Russ–in the last place anyone saw him. While she searches for her co-pilot, the man she loves, she stumbles upon deceit and planetary intrigue that could throw Bountiful back into chaos. Elise is forced to ask herself, how the mysterious Daniel Smith orchestrate the reformation of Bountiful so quickly? Who is this man with no background, credited with singlehandedly transforming Bountiful from shunned to respected. Did he act alone? Does he have a conniving benefactor with a diabolical personal motive? But, who is out to best whom. Will Callin win a respectable world she can manipulate for her own purposes? Will Daniel Smith push her out of the picture and take the planet for his own? Finding the solutions to all these puzzles will send Elise and her friend all the way back to Earth itself.

      The year is 2368, and a gang of privateers led by Amanda Callin is routinely savaging the fleet of interstellar cargo ships that carry freight between Earth's twelve colonies. The raiders attack without mercy, leaving death and destruction in their wake as they disappear back into uncharted space. The best efforts of the authorities to track down the marauders and bring them to justice have been ineffective. Captain Elsie Danion piloting the cargo vessel, Capricorn, on a mission to the new colony of Mithras is forced off her course when a hyper-drive stalls. Now she and her crew are stranded in Callin's realm. This creates serious trouble because aboard the Capricorn is a very valuable passenger, a passenger that Callin will stop at nothing to possess. If this situation isn't treacherous enough, while restoring the hyper-drive, the crew discovers an unknown colony from Earth's past, and a plot that, if carried out, will place the future of Earth and her colonies in jeopardy. With the clock ticking, the Capricorn and her crew must fight for survival while thwarting Callin's devious scheme.

      Outlaw privateer Amanda Callin craves power and revenge. Revenge for the life she believes others have forced her to live, and the power to control the colonies of Earth. Everything falls within her grasp when she kidnaps Alex Ballard, the colonies' foremost computer developer. Amanda faces several problems, however. She is prohibited from using drugs to extract his knowledge of colonial security, and despite her abuse, Alex refuses to cooperate. Resigned to his own death, Alex plays a desperate game of cat and mouse with his tormentor. Meanwhile, Alex's shipmate Captain Elise Danion and her crew frantically search for a way to snatch Alex from Callin's grasp. In their race to save him they run into an unforseen threat, and Elise finds herself in a three-way race to save his life. Now, not only must she outwit the privateers' leader, but an authority officer so fixated on stopping Callin's rising threat to colonial security that he's willing to forfeit Alex's life in the process.
