Synopsis

She was his protector. Until he betrayed them all. Now he’s dead—and the secrets buried with him may ignite a war. Heather Kilgore is the deadliest assassin in the Fringe, a fearsome agent for her King and star nation. But when a high-profile defector is found dead outside the embassy on a contested world, Heather is pulled back into a past she'd tried to forget. Her orders are simple: find out why her name was in the dead man's pocket. But nothing is simple in a galaxy of shifting loyalties and buried truths. As the stakes escalate and alliances blur, Heather must confront enemies on both sides of a centuries-old conflict, and she may be the only hope of stopping a war. But for her, this one is personal, and she'll do whatever it takes to complete her mission and find out why she was betrayed. Set in the same universe as the fan-favorite series, Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes , Rogue Agent is a gripping sci-fi thriller of espionage, loyalty, and deadly secrets. Equal parts space opera and technothriller, it will keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the page. Read or listen today!
