The Kuiper Belt Job (The Cannibal Club Chronicles, 1)

Ocean's 11 meets The Expanse in an adventure set far in the future.

Once upon a time in the Solar System, there was a gang called the Cannibal Club led by the man known as Strange. Max was the muscle, Damien the pilot, Alicia the thief, Tai the hacker, and Shweta the grifter. They would break into banks, hack computers, swindle the rich and powerful, run guns ... whatever it took.

The Orca Job was supposed to set them all up for life, but it did not go according to plan. They lost their money, they lost their ship, and some of them lost their lives—the survivors scattering in a storm of recriminations.

Ten years later, no one is who they were ... and some are not what they seem. But Strange's son, Cayce, wants to put the gang back together to rescue his father, currently held captive. Even if uniting the club isn't enough of a challenge, they also need major resources, and the only way they know how to acquire them is by falling into old habits.

The Kuiper Belt Job is a unique tale told from the viewpoints of various members of the gang as they conduct heists and an elaborate-scale sleight-of-hand to obtain the supplies and equipment they need to rescue their once leader. 

The story explores themes of power, diversity, political intrigue, and ethics. It includes a thrilling plot, a cast of colorful characters, and a futuristic setting that will captivate fans.
