TRUSTING OTHERS IS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE. If Tech Sergeant Erikson plans to survive another day, she'll have to give up everything: her identity, her rank, her beloved Corps, and most of all, her so-called honor. Haunted by the ghosts of outclassed and outgunned rebels her squad was ordered to eliminate, Erikson struggles to maintain her military bearing-until even that is ripped away in an act of domestic terrorism that sends her on the run on a hostile planet. Her turn to be outclassed and outgunned, under attack from the scavengers who plague the system, and out of options, she and two more Corps survivors must find a way to trust each other or their chances for survival are less than zero. And for one of them, chances can be improved with one simple act: betrayal. In this prequel to the popular Spectras Arise Trilogy, readers get an intimate look into the events that led Aly and David Erikson on their path from decorated and dedicated soldiers to black-market arms smugglers, and ultimately, to rebels against the Political and Capital Administration of the Advanced Worlds.
