Centuries after Earth was rendered an uninhabitable wasteland,
humanity was forced from its homeworld and founded the Kepler Circuit, a string of colonies throughout the solar system. These settlements provide resources to the remnants of humankind, the most important resource being the newly discovered element--Gravitum--found only in the Earth's unstable mantle.

But a powerful religious faction known as the New Earth Tribunal
has risen to preside over most of the Circuit. Though there is barely a faction
left to challenge them, a string of attacks on the Tribunal's freighters causes
them to suspect their mortal enemies, the Ceresians, of foul play.

Tasked with solving the problem is Sage Volus: Tribunal Executor.
Spy.

Sage quickly infiltrates the ranks of a roguish, Ceresian mercenary named Talon Rayne, seeking to discover the truth behind the attacks, but the longer she works amidst Talon and his squad, the more she finds her faith in the Tribunal tested.

While her quest for answers only unearths more questions, a new threat is on
the rise, and it plans to bring down the Tribune once and for all.

Review

• "Space opera that fans of Firefly and its ilk will appreciate." -San Francisco Book Review

• "If you are a fan of The Expanse series, or anything remotely in the same vein, then The Circuit: Executor Rising is probably a book you should take a good, hard look at picking up sometime." -20four12

• "Bruno has crafted a complex, multi-dimensional story that combines the best of his genre with age-old truths--and quandaries--about humanity, politics, religion, family, and, yes, love." -Portland Book Review

• "As unique a story as any SciFi I've read in a while. I am now a fan of Rhett Bruno." -Phillip Tomasso, bestselling author of the "Vaccination Series" 

• "The Circuit is a hit and I urge you to give it a try." -Speculative Fiction Review

• "As imaginative and exciting as the story is, however, it wouldn't work without a good cast of characters. 'Executor Rising' has 'em."  -SFCrowsnest

• "This was a wild ride of mercenaries, thieving and political sabotage. Add a dash of sexual tension and I was hooked." -Cellar Door Lit Rants & Reviews
