Dekker Knight has a secret past.
Vivian “Vesuvius” Briggs has a sword and a chip on her shoulder.
Together they run a crew of MEA sanctioned space mercenaries: the Dozen.
In the wake of a political debacle at the backwater planet Galilee, the Division of Confidential Secrets investigates the Dozen’s involvement with the Syndicate and the mysterious alien GRRZ. Spearheaded by a zealous new director with psychic abilities, winds have shifted against the crew. But as a notorious criminal heads to trial, his criminal contacts make threats best left to Dekker and his crew. The alien danger is no longer an off-world issue… it’s reached all the way to Earth. With an “Eden Seed” in the hands of the enemy, will any of them discover the real threat before it is too late?
