Absence of Blade - The Expansion Series, #1

A war his people couldn't win took everything from him - except revenge.   Mose and his team are all that stand between his colony and the Terrans. He sends the Osk spies and assassins where they can do the most damage to the superior Terran forces.  Then an awful new Terran weapon wipes his colony off the map. Mose awakes a prisoner, bound to the enemy by the tech that sustains him. They offer him a brutal choice: die, or hunt down his old teammates to stay alive.  He agrees for one reason.
Before the Terran attack, the Osk were betrayed by one of their own.  And he's the only person who knows the truth.  Following the traitor's trail to a powerful Terran world, Mose learns his target is about to commit an act of terrorism that will repeat history.  If Mose can't stop him, millions of people will die-again.  Absence of Blade is a thrilling space opera perfect for fans of J. N. Chaney, Rick Partlow, and Joshua James.
If you like fast-paced sci-fi with gripping plots and unforgettable characters, you'll love Absence of Blade.
