Hakan Veil is an ex–corporate enforcer equipped with military-grade body tech that’s made him a human killing machine.
His former employers have abandoned him on a turbulent Mars where Earth-based overlords battle for profits and power amid a homegrown independence movement.
But he’s had enough of the red planet, and all he wants is a ticket back home—which is just what he’s offered by the Earth Oversight organization, in exchange for being the bodyguard for an EO investigator.
It’s a beyond-easy gig for a heavy hitter like Veil .
until it isn’t.
When Veil’s charge starts looking into the mysterious disappearance of a lottery winner, it stirs up a hornet’s nest of intrigue and murder.
And the deeper Veil is drawn into the game, the more long-buried secrets claw their way to the Martian surface.
Now it’s the expert assassin poised against powerful enemies hellbent on taking him down—by any means necessary.
