A SEASONED MILITARY OFFICER UNCOVERS A DEADLY CONSPIRACY ON A DISTANT, WAR-TORN PLANET…
War heroes aren’ t usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it’ s something big— and he’ s not being told the whole story. A high councilor’ s son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated— but there’ s no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.
The colonel quickly finds Cappa Base to be a labyrinth of dead ends and sabotage: the hospital commander stonewalls him, the Special Ops leader won’ t come off the planet, witnesses go missing, radar data disappears, and that’ s before he encounters the alien enemy. Butler has no choice but to drop down onto a hostile planet— because someone is using the war zone as a cover. The answers are there— Butler just has to make it back alive…
