Publisher's Summary

Your new favorite sci-fi espionage action drama CONTINUES! She’s sabotaged, tortured, and killed in the name of her empire. Never questioning, never yielding. Being asked to turn her skills against the empire was not a consideration…until now.

Rogue agents working from the outside. Duplicitous officers working from the inside. In the shadow of the Terminus, it’s unclear who is predator and who is prey.

Samantha, Decker, and the crew of the freshly repaired Matilda are on their way to Senali with Red Kestrel leader Kat Basara in their sights. She has the answer to Samantha’s question: Who is the leak within the Imperium that sacrificed The Dauntless and its crew?

On Kestris, Clarke and Julian are forced to pull their attention away from the big picture to focus on a growing problem—Renic. Running low on options, they must consider new allies in the Navy. At the same time, Renic has worked his way into OS-9’s Indigo investigation to thwart it from the inside, but when he tries to draw attention to Samantha, things don’t add up. Will Renic have to face his growing list of adversaries, or get the drop on them again?

Living a double-life aboard the Terminus, Qin must ask herself: Who is she? The decorated Navy lieutenant, or the covert 5E agent? Or is she another person who finds herself drawn to Lieutenant Yadav in ways that could jeopardize them both?

Gallow’s plans to overthrow the High Imperius are coming to fruition. Can Samantha and Decker gain the advantage in the fleet marshal’s game, or is Gallow—as he believes himself to be—an unstoppable force?

Deceptions will be pushed to the breaking point as long-held advantages begin to crack beneath the weight of turnabout… and temerity.

The Dauntless Gambit is a sci-fi, espionage adventure that blends the spy-vs-spy thrills of authors like Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, and Richard Morgan, or shows like Homeland, Counterpart, and The Americans, with the sci-fi stylings of Star Wars, Bladerunner, Agents of SHIELD, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica.

With complex characters, coherent plots, and thematic dilemmas that will leave you questioning who is the hero and who is the villain, The Dauntless Gambit is the new adventure you've been waiting for!
