brave the dark

Lax VanDunn lost everything.

His ship, his crew, and his freedom—all gone after a salvage job in deep space went horribly wrong. Now, after almost a decade imprisoned by the oppressive galactic government known as the Paragon, he’s got a chance at winning at least some of it back. All he has to do is survive the most dangerous job of his career: raiding a long lost battlecruiser full of terrifying monsters, powerful technology, and dark secrets that could change the balance of power in the Paragon forever.
