The Missing Link
(2026)(A book in the Chronicles of Daphne Blazefire series)
A novel by Frank DeCaire
While trawling the galactic net for entertainment and encrypted schematics, Rusty, Daphne Blazefire’s quirky (and possibly sentient) robot companion, stumbles across something curious: a cache of unsolved criminal cases, long buried in forgotten databanks.
One case stands out: the disappearance of Lyra Venn, daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the inner systems. Detective Ramsey chased every lead, until the trail went cold. A million-credit reward has gone unclaimed for years.
But when Daphne reads the file, something clicks. A memory. A name. A detail she'd dismissed long ago suddenly shines like a beacon. Could she really be the missing piece in a galaxy-wide mystery? And if so, who’s been hiding the truth… and what are they willing to do to keep it buried?
Genre: Science Fiction
