When the empire takes everything, all that’s left is the will to fight back.

In the remnants of a shattered life, Nolan Grayson persists, a weary inventor locked in the choking grip of a merciless empire. His once warm home now a tomb to his brutally slain family, with only his faithful sanitation droid as a lingering echo of happier times.

A grim shadow shatters this fragile semblance of peace when imperial soldiers, as cold and ruthless as the steel they wear, descend upon his solitude. They take his droid, the last vestige of his past, and throw Nolan into a pit of despair within the confines of a desolate incarceration facility.

In the inky depths of his sorrow, a resolution sparks within Nolan. He will reclaim what is rightfully his, even if it means courting the jaws of death. Yet, a predator lurks in the gloom. The merciless Commander Ravus, whose battlecruiser - a monolithic citadel of steel and fury, unreachable to a lone man - guards the stolen droid.

Yet Nolan's obstinate resolve will not allow him to seek the aid of the enigmatic Val, an ex-imperial operative with a labyrinth of connections, or the courageous members of the Free Stars Alliance. He chooses to walk the treacherous path alone, every step a gamble against the looming specter of the molecular disintegration chamber.

But in this cosmic game of chess, Nolan's life is not the only piece at risk. Beneath the metallic shell of his captive droid lies a torrent of imperial secrets, the spark to ignite a brutal endgame. If the empire claims it, they could smother the last vestiges of resistance, fastening their cruel chains around the universe's downtrodden denizens.

Nolan teeters on the edge of a precipice, his next move either a leap towards salvation or a plunge into oblivion. Can he outwit the empire, or will his stubbornness lead to the annihilation of hope itself? Find out in this high-stakes interstellar adventure from the author of the Star Inferno series and the British Invasion series.
