A lawman working alongside criminals starts losing sight of the line he swore never to cross, just as a stolen technology threatens the balance of an entire outlaw commonwealth. A space opera heist adventure of con jobs, uneasy partnerships and slipping principles. The Job Just Got A Lot More Complicated. Dev is a man in conflict. While he may have captured Nolan and prevented him from selling any more of the Coalition's secrets, doing so caused him to come close to violating his own personal code of conduct. Now he's not sure he can trust himself anymore. He fears he's becoming too similar to the criminals he's had to partner up with. But Nolan holds another secret: one that has the potential to disrupt the power balance in the Sargan Commonwealth. Thanks to one of Nolan's associates, Dev and the crew know where to find this technology and who might be using it, but it requires venturing deep into Sargan territory, a world of true lawlessness. Despite this, Dev is determined not to let Nolan get the better of him. But as he continues along this path, he can feel himself slipping. Dev never thought he'd find himself on this side of the law, and he's not sure he's going to like what he finds once he reaches the end of this road. Perfect for fans of James S.A. Corey, Craig Alanson and John Scalzi.
