All hell is breaking loose in the edge-of-your-seat follow-up to Havoc and Perdition fromNew York Times bestselling author Ann Aguirre…
The prison ship Perdition has become a post-battle charnel house with only a handful of Dred’s soldiers still standing and now being hunted by Silence’s trained tongueless assassins. Forging an uneasy alliance with mercenary commander Vost—who is their only chance at escape—the Dread Queen will do whatever it takes to end her life sentence on Perdition and keep the survivors alive long enough to cobble together a transport capable of getting them off station.
If Dred and her crew can win the deadly game of cat and mouse, the payoff is not only life but freedom—a prize sweeter than their wildest dreams. Yet the sadistic Silence would rather destroy Perdition than let a single soul slip from her grasp…
Praise for the Dred Chronicles:
"There's so much action, so much adventure, and more than that, it's great writing."—USA Today "SiranthaJax fans may be intrigued to see what befell Jael after his ill-considered actions there, and new lead Dred is a strong linchpin for a promising new series."—Publishers Weekly
"Spectacularly and spell-bindingly perfect with high octane action that keeps you on the edge of your seat and a romance that is surprisingly sweet and tender in a harsh and unforiving setting...This is honestly one of the best SF romance series I have read." —Book Pushers
While Jael and Keelah were gone, Dred felt the walls closing
in. The space they’d chosen was barely sufficient for their number, but it was
well hidden and defensible. She inspected all the machines to see if there was
anything worthwhile, but she didn’t know enough about ship mechanics to be
sure. Plus, stripping some vital part in here might compromise the station’s
systems, killing them before they were ready to take off.
Mary, I hate feeling useless.
So she was beyond relieved when the two returned . . . but
Jael was carrying RC-17. That didn’t bode well.
He handed it to her before climbing out of the wall panel,
and she checked it for damage. The scorch marks on the casing looked like it
had been shot, but she didn’t think any of the prisoners, apart from her crew,
had managed to steal rifles or weapons. Dred turned an icy look onto Vost and
his men. The shorter merc, Duran, shifted uneasily. Both the grunts were
younger than the commander, probably by as much as ten turns. Redmond had curly
black hair and medium brown skin while the other was pale and freckled. Duran
seemed to be the youngest of everyone, and he exuded a boyish air that was
probably what drew Calypso.
“Something you want to tell me?” she prompted.
“Yeah, about that . . .”
“Spit it out,” Vost ordered.
“Sorry, sir. When you sent us out to gather supplies a few
days back, we ran across that unit. I thought it was scouting for our location,
spying on us, so I blasted it.”
“Why didn’t you say something before?” Jael demanded.
Duran gave him a dark look. “You know how many cleaning bots
I’ve run across up in this orbiting scrapyard? How would I know the one I shot
is the exact droid you’re looking for?”
Tam shifted through the bodies crowded around the bro- ken
unit to take a look, and Dred handed the metal carcass to him. With Ike gone,
he likely knew the most about main- tenance and repair. A few minutes later, he
let out a sigh.
“The battery’s completely fried. I’ll need to cannibalize
another unit to get this one operational again.”
“How’s the memory core?” Martine asked.
That was the key bit. If that was damaged, too, they could
forget about ever finding Ike’s stashes. And that might mean the end of their
escape plans. Dred leaned in, along with everyone else, until Tam motioned them
to get out of his light. Sheepish, she fell back a step.
He poked around a little more before pronouncing, “It looks
intact, but I won’t know for sure until 17 powers up.”
“So before we start scavenging for ship parts,” Redmond
muttered, “we have to find droid parts.”
Calypso sighed at him. “Why is your brain so limited? There
are nine of us. It makes more sense to figure out what we need, then divide
into search teams.”
“Like a scavenger hunt,” Martine said.
Jael offered a twisted smile. “Serious sodding hunt, bright
eyes. The prize is freedom, the penalty for failure is execution.”
