Book Two: Larc Ascending

To Do: Tail drone, destroy space fleet, submit expenses

An unfolding mystery, a conflict between two neighboring planets, and the secret that ties them together.

Jim Able likes working offworld. His previous boss fired him but now he's working for the chameleon-skinned alien, Tella. Their new assignment, to follow a mysterious drone. What could go wrong?

Jim is led to the environmentally damaged planet of Tanna Gul and its spiritual leader-the Gul Raeff. Jim, who barely manages to keep himself safe, feels responsible for the safety of a young monk traveling with him. When the monk dies, will Jim's anger and guilt bring about more death and destruction?

Above all, are the monk's superiors-secretive senders of the drone-working behind the scenes with Jim or against him?
