Honor Amidst The Shadows

As the Coalition moves toward peace with the Rigelian Empire, the Fleet Security Agency (FSA) is under pressure. A corps of covert operatives, the FSA is supposed work for the Coalition Counsel and defend against other covert operators, saboteurs of the peace. But something is wrong inside the agency. On an FSA mission, Bear, an orphan-turned-Special-Forces commando, makes two life-changing discoveries. One: he's been a lifelong pawn in someone's deadly game. Two: through an epiphany, he realizes that, despite betrayal, he is right where he needs to be. Myria, the daughter of a celebrated war hero and Bear's real father, believed in all the good things the Ministry of Defense and Exploration (MDE) stood for -- honor, dignity, and sanctity of life -- while being naove to the dark side; that is, until a terrorist bomb claims her father and her innocence. Will the two siblings find each other and truth?
