As he watches the radioactive remains of Los Angeles burn, Ambrose Drake knows his life will never be the same.
His friends, family, and everything he's ever known are on Earth, but when a Martian terrorist known as the Snow Leopard takes credit for the genocide of millions, he can't stand aside any longer. He must launch for Mars and join the fight.
But Ambrose never planned on making the red planet his home.
Two and a half decades later, Ambrose toils as a homicide detective in the Martian city of Elysium. He's called to investigate the death of a prominent government official, but it doesn't take long for someone to take credit for the murder-none other than the Snow Leopard, who vanished at the end of the Martian rebellion two decades prior.
As two stories unfold in parallel, young Ambrose comes face to face with the brutal realities of war, while the elder Ambrose chases a terrorist mastermind and seeks to carry out a secret mission twenty-five years in the making.
From the author of the best-selling Daggers and Steele series, don't miss this thrilling blend of military science fiction, space opera, and political intrigue.
