A military hero is coming out of disgraceāstraight into the line of fireā¦
Carl Butler was once a decorated colonel. Now heās a disgraced recluse, hoping to live out the rest of his life on a backwater planet where no one cares about his ācrimesā and everyone leaves him alone.
Itās never that easy.
A CEOās daughter has gone missing and he thinks Butler is the only one who can find her. The government is only too happy to appease him. Butler isnāt so sure, but he knows the pain of losing a daughter, so he reluctantly signs on. Soon heās on a military ship heading for a newly-formed colony where the dangerous jungle lurks just outside the domes where settlers live.
Paired with Mac, Ganos, and a government-assigned aide named Fader, Butler dives head-first into what should be an open and shut case. Then someone tries to blow him up. Faced with an incompetent local governor, a hamstrung military, and corporations playing fast and loose with the laws, Butler finds himself in familiar territory. Heās got nobody to trust but himself, but thatās where he works best. Heāll fight to get to the bottom of the mystery, but this time, he might not live to solve it.
