Steven Sinclair's life sucks. All he wants is a professional career, a strong union to protect him, and company housing far from the welfare slums he grew up in. As a senior engineering student at the University of California, Berkeley, he's on the verge of achieving everything he has worked for.
His dreams shatter the night a street gang—the Crips—attack him. Steven kills one in self-defense and becomes a fugitive. Not from the law... from the gang. On Earth there is nowhere to hide, and the system that raised him now hunts him. His only chance at staying alive is fleeing the planet.
Then he meets Helen Hart—beautiful, brilliant, and hunted. What begins as a spark in the spaceport deepens after he saves her in orbit, drawing him into a danger he never expected.
Aboard the Harbinger, what seemed like escape becomes a reluctant partnership. Helen is guarded and pursued by factions far more dangerous than street gangs, and proximity—and danger—draws them closer. Their bond ignites quietly at first, simmering beneath the surface long before Steven understands how far he'll eventually go to protect her.
Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Richard K. Morgan, and Martha Wells, Exiled from Earth blends gritty dystopian survival with sweeping space-opera stakes—and the kind of raw, high-heat romance that can tip the balance between survival and oblivion.
Thrown into sewage bays, zero-gravity humiliation, conspiracies on Ceres, and survival on a dead rock, Steven learns that exile is only the beginning. Because staying alive means protecting the one woman every power in the system wants dead... and the one woman he's willing to risk everything for.
