An unexpected challenge was beaten, but not without death and destruction to Erik's and Jia's team.

Will the knowledge they gained be enough to pull more secrets into the light?

Assigned their first mission outside the Solar System, Erik and Jia head to Alpha Centauri on the trail of smuggled alien artifacts.

Those who guard it are some of the conspiracy's most elite and ruthless agents. This time, Erik is forewarned, and forewarned is forearmed.

Will the cabal of lies start unraveling, or will the powerful seek the darkness as far away from Erik and Jia as they can get?

Erik and Jia said the words, and now they can't go back. How will it change their relationship?

He will have vengeance, no matter the cost. She will dig for the truth, no matter how risky it is to reveal.

Go up and click Buy Now and prepare for the mystery that will determine humanity's future.


"An incredibly good fictionalized accounting of humanity's future, and what Lin and Blackwell uncovered that shook the foundations of both the powerful and the elite." - UFE Interstellar News.

Born in Portland, Maine, he currently resides with his family and a slowly rotating menagerie of animals in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

This is one of the better books in the series. Although I have to say, there seems to be a lot of threats that no one is aware of until suddenly exposed by our protagonists.

3.0 out of 5 stars Repetitious

I've read different books in this series but ma can drag it out until hell won't have it. Most of his books are just a repetition of things that were occurred before and other it makes a series drag out and on and on. Without closure. I'm thinking that by now we're not going to get closure. Until he is mixed out every penny possible.
