Deceit: The opening salvo in the Imperium War

Finnegan Black is a bad man. But that does not mean he can’t be useful. Domo 'Schemmer' Kirus Obani is a shrewd man. But that does not mean he can’t be duped. Commander Flannigan is a hard man. But that does not mean he lacks compassion. Unknowingly bound by the plotting of a swarm intelligence and the whims of the Queen of the Imperiums, their fates converge in a race to recover a centuries-old relic. But treasure hunts are rarely as they seem, as they discover a thousand light-years from Earth, and when trickery and deceit are involved, the outcome—and their survival—is uncertain. This is the opening salvo in the Imperium war, a hard science fiction space opera that sets humanity alight with the flames of combat and fear of extinction.
