About this listen

A court conspiracy. A decrepit, gang-ladened space station, and the Bustan Navy on the way. What could possibly go wrong?

Recovering from the events aboard the Scourge, the Wrecking Squad return to Karal and their old job until the Emperor’s Enforcer comes knocking. Forced to travel to the scum-laden Windward System, they are tasked with recovering a shipment of Marine wetware from Benetai, a rundown space station. Finding it filled with the barrel-scrapings of human and Senti origin, they step into a gang war over the missing tech with the hated Bustan Navy on the way. Running out of time, they fall back on their old skills, only to discover infuriating the Bustan Navy has consequences they’re not prepared for.

Join Rebekah and her crew as they navigate conspiracies, in-fighting and battle tech, in their own inimitable style while keeping another deadly secret from the prying eyes of the Emperor’s Court.

Where Firefly and The Expanse meet, with a dash of Aliens action in the mix, Butcher’s Folly is the new book from Nick Snape, author of the hugely popular Weapons of Choice sci-fi series.

'Fast-paced and action-packed, The Wrecking Squad is a military sci-fi story with some unexpected (and sometimes horrific) twists. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.' FanFiAddict
