About the Book
In a world where humans and aliens coexist, the future can be altered forever.
In a world where murder is sanctioned, the rules of humanity no longer apply.
In a world where no one can guarantee safe haven, one man has found a job.
Retrieval Artists help the lost find their way back home... whether they
like it or not. Specialized private detectives, they investigate the
most unusual crimes in the galaxy. But Miles Flint isn't a Retrieval
Artist. He's just a cop, trying to do his job.
In a stolen space yacht, three people have been found eviscerated – the
grisly signature of an alien vengeance killing. Moments later, the
border patrol halts another ship launched out of the moon's orbit – its
passengers are two human children, kidnapped by the most ruthless
aliens in the universe. Both ships are linked to a woman on the run – a
Disappeared relocated to the inhospitable landscape of Mars. A
reluctant outlaw with a bounty on her head and a detective on her case,
she's about to teach all of them a lesson: It's dangerous to gamble
with your life in a universe that rigs the game.
