Fool's Gambit

In the lawless regions of the galaxy, Confederation rule has dwindled. Now the gangsters and smugglers are doing their best to make a quick buck, and maybe just survive. Knox, a disgraced Confederation officer, is hired by a mysterious woman to escort cargo across dangerous territory. It's a payday better than anything he's ever seen...but there's a catch. He'll be in the company of two others, and they might be more deadly than anything that waits for them out in space. A Reconstruction Era tale that combines cyberpunk and space opera, this latest installment in the Confederation Reborn saga is a killer. Best-selling author Bernard Schaffer has assembled a wildly talented group of storytellers to create the epic Confederation Reborn series. Simultaneously paying homage to the most beloved franchise in history and twisting it to their own unique vision, it is instantly familiar, and like nothing you've read before.
