Deception
Loyalty is currency. Secrets are weapons. Peace is a lie.
The Empire is gone-but its shadow still chokes the stars. Now the galaxy fractures between two rising powers: the Alliance and the Shogol Network. Malik Carthen, a burned-out loyalist turned reluctant captain, commands the Swift Destiny on a last-chance mission for the Alliance: retrieve a smuggler's cargo before it shifts the balance of power.
But nothing is what it seems.
The mission unravels fast. The cargo is more than contraband. The contact is compromised. And Malik's crew-each with their own scars and loyalties-begins to question the real cost of the job.
As lines blur between orders and survival, Malik is forced to choose: obey, defect, or disappear.
And in a galaxy like this, there's no clean exit.
Deception is Book One of REDSHIFT, a serialized sci-fi saga built for fans of The Expanse and Andor-readers who crave moral compromise, razor-edged dialogue, and starships haunted by the weight of failed ideals.
