Legend tells of a sword that makes a warrior’s enemies fall to their knees in surrender. Sheni isn’t sure if he believes the drunken ramblings of old space pirates, but what he does know is that a sword like that would fetch an eye-watering price. Unfortunately, the trail leads them from ancient temples to prison planets, and retrieving the sword from its final resting place might cost the crew more than they’re willing to pay. Especially since someone on board the Silver Hart is keeping a secret with deadly implications....

Sheni and his spacer crew only steal from people who don’t deserve what they’ve got. Unfortunately, a penthouse robbery puts them in hot water with a crooked art dealer who loves nothing more than a high-stakes hunt. If they don’t cough up a small fortune, their heads will be the next trophies on her wall.

Cast out by humanity yet burdened with a conscience, Sheni Dupont wouldn’t say he’s found his calling in space piracy. But in the cramped and rusty halls of the ship he shares with reptilian captain Gecki, starfish pilot Xotl and the weird green enigma known only as Alan, he may have found a home. So when a loan shark threatens to repossess their ship if they don’t pay back the credits they’ve borrowed, the crew of the Silver Hart are forced to take the only job going–stealing a crystal egg from a backwater planet on the brink of cosmic destruction.

The highly-anticipated fourth installment in the Kapamentis Crime series, from bestselling science-fiction author T.W.M. Ashford.

Street gangs. Glamour models. Console jockeys. With tensions between mankind and the other species of the Ministerium at an all-time high, the human citizens of Kapamentis will take whatever cybernetic advantage they can get. But when a string of patients wind up dead from infected implants, the next step in human evolution might not be as safe as it seems.

Thaddeus Cutter's life is on the mend. His detective business is growing, he's dating a sim-coder named Sakura, and he still has a roof over his head. If the dark, neon world of Kapamentis wasn't suffering its worst storm in decades, he'd say he had it pretty good. When a woman shows up at his door asking him to investigate her abusive husband and his shady business partner, Thaddeus assumes he's got an easy case on his hands. But when somebody close to the investigation is murdered, Thaddeus becomes the prime suspect, and he soon falls foul of both the law and the lawless.

Meet Thaddeus Cutter. He's a two-bit private detective struggling to get by on Kapamentis – a high-tech alien metropolis whose citizens consider humans little more than vermin. There's no sun, it rains all the time, and business is so bad he can't even afford the rent.

Paradise is a nightmare. Holly Bloom works as an analyst for Flynn Industries. When she intercepts a confidential email stating that the luxury space station housing the wealthiest members of humanity has gone dark, she immediately volunteers to accompany the rescue team sent to fix the comm issue… but Saturnalia is nothing like the reclusive paradise she'd come to expect.

The Earth is gone, and its survivors are in desperate need of a new home. Trapped on board Arks orbiting New Terra, the UEC fleet orders a full invasion. The planet is theirs if they want it… they just need to clear out the massive bug infestation first. Ginger and her squadmates in Fireteam Sigma are no strangers to alien worlds—this isn't the first planet they've tried to colonize. But they've never gone up against an enemy like this before: hungry seven-foot roaches capable of biting a marine in two. It's going to take everything Sigma's got—and more—to survive.
