When losing the game isn’t an option, it’s time to rewrite the rules.

Tired of the Fleet Intelligence game, Jack signs up for a routine bounty hunting mission. A simple bag and tag is turned on its head when he uncovers evidence that links criminal activity with a company his family is heavily invested in…a company ran by his ex-fiancée and her husband.

To run this lead to ground, Jack is forced to put his scheming skills to the test, threading the needle between family, friend, and foe. The simple investigation devolves into a brutal war between the genetically-augmented Predecessor Cult and the advanced bionics of the Evolutionists—with Jack caught in the middle. Rival factions slaughter one another with impunity as the investigation turns into a race against time; a race Jack has no hope of winning…unless he is willing to do the unthinkable.

One thing’s for sure; a bounty hunter that doesn’t plan for a double-cross will fail every time.
