Running Dark

Merc has three rules for staying alive when half the galaxy wants you dead. He's broken all three. Eight months after walking away from the most dangerous job of his career, former Syndicate operative Merc is out of time. The people he betrayed have finally caught up to him — and they aren't interested in explanations. Cornered in a lawless station bar with no exits left, Merc has one move: choose which prison he can survive. Running Dark is a character-driven sci-fi thriller about a charming antihero, an impossible choice, and the ghost of a woman he couldn't save — told in the voice of a man who deflects everything with a smile except the things that actually matter.
