A Son of the Shadows

On Delta-13, Rex Hunt makes his living stealing from the dead.

The frozen world is littered with technology left behind by an extinct alien civilization. Rex scavenges what he can and sells it on the black market, always one mistake away from an Imperial prison cell.

His greatest find is also his most dangerous secret: Wellesley, a forbidden alien intelligence worth more than everything Rex has ever pulled from the ice.

Then a renowned psychiatrist arrives from Earth to investigate a disturbing outbreak inside Delta-13’s prison. Inmates are losing their minds. The authorities want questions to stop. And a secretive group believes Rex may be the one person who can help uncover why.

Soon Imperial patrols are closing in, trusted allies are keeping secrets, and something inside Rex is beginning to change.

Whatever is happening on Delta-13 is bigger than the prison, and once Rex starts digging, there may be no way back!

A Son of the Shadows is the explosive opening to the Earthborn Saga, where one scavenger’s search for the truth begins a fight that will reach far beyond the frozen world he calls home.

Start the saga today.
