Ghost Among Thieves

Ghost Among Thieves is the first book in the Fulcrum War trilogy.

By the midpoint of the 26th Century, Earth’s Empire spans the Milky Way. Hundreds of colonised worlds are kept in check through crippling taxation and racial legislation. The status quo is maintained by the Terrestrial Navy, the most powerful military force history has ever seen.

But the status quo is about to be changed. Paul Ray is Chief Engineer on board the Terrestrial dreadnought Shrike, and he has a secret. It is a secret that has taken him all the way to the Shrike. And it is a secret that compels him to destroy her.

What Paul didn’t know, what no-one could have foreseen, is that destroying the Shrike will lead to a vendetta, one that will tear the galaxy in half in the bloodiest war the Earth has ever known.

Paul is a lightning rod for insurrection, and, supported by an alliance of rebelling worlds known as the New Confederacy of Free Planets, he must find his nemesis, a man who somehow survived the holocaust on the Shrike.

Because if he doesn’t, there will, quite literally, be Hell to pay…
