Day Zero (Paperback)

March 15, 2396, known as "Day Zero," forever changed the Galactic Alliance. A dozen near-simultaneous terrorist attacks on twelve separate worlds triggered a non-linear interstellar conflict unlike anything seen before in the known galaxy. The war lasted three years, ending as abruptly as it began.

Many questions were left unanswered, including the most important: What was the motivation behind the attacks?

The "Day Zero" collection will answer that question, starting with "Catalyst Crew."

Guns-for-hire Liam and Phillip Walls owe a debt to a ruthless government agent-and the price is a deadly mission on the alien world of Hon'Sed. With little time and no trust, the Walls brothers join a ragtag crew of assassins, thieves, and digital infiltrators tasked with a near-impossible heist: break into a corporate fortress and abduct two Sivax scientists who hold the secret to weaponized antimatter.

The plan is perilous-thirty minutes before elite government forces arrive, and after a prior assault ended with no survivors. Liam's instincts scream danger, but the payday is huge-and survival means relying on strangers and their own SPEC-Ops skills to fight through a nightmare no one saw coming.

"Day Zero: Catalyst Crew," the first novella in the Day Zero series, plunges readers into the volatile spark that ignited the Agency Disorders. Fans of fast-paced, hard-hitting science fantasy and interstellar intrigue won't want to miss it.
