I know my third novel has only been out for 3 months, but I feel the time is right to show you the cover for my next novel in The Strike Agent Chronicles - Operation Red Night!
My earlier plan to only release a book once its follow-up has a first draft is going well. While Operation Red Night is the 4th novel in the series I am just finishing work on book 5’s first draft.
So what better way to celebrate than to release its predecessor’s cover?!
As usual, thanks again to my lovely sister Diane for stepping into Adi’s boots! Also a big welcome (or welcome back ;) to Phelan who assumes the role of Kia (reprising the role from my 2014 out-of-print novel Star of Izon). Also huge thanks to Nahaq for creating the futuristic cityscape of capital planet Ando!
The manuscript itself is currently with my long-time editor Rebecca. I’m hoping to release at the start of next year, but no promises, once I have a real date locked in I will let you know.
For now, you can read the synopsis for Operation Red Night below! (obviously there’s a huge big spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t read my third novel, Without Honour, so scroll at your peril.)
*Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t finished the novel Without Honour*
“With Taskforce Two branded an enemy of the Republic, Adi Bailek and her team are now fugitives. Hiding on an isolated planet in the outer reaches of the Linari, Adi gets word of a potential lead in their quest for clemency. Unreliable the source may be, it’s a proposal too good to refuse, especially after a year in exile.
But with the Galaxian Naval Armada, headed by Alex’s father Gabriel Hiatt, scouring the galaxy for Taskforce Two’s location it appears their time of seclusion will be coming to an end one way or another.
Meanwhile back on Ando, Killen, Maegan, and Rina, while diligently trying to build a case for their team’s innocence, stumble on something that completely changes everything they thought they knew about the Republic.
With the Anraí Mob still in possession of the stolen nuclear weapons and the Republic’s 3rd anniversary mere weeks away, Killen expects, on top of everything else, a terrorist attack is imminent.
Unsure who they can trust will Adi make it back in time to save Ando and exonerate her team or will they be betrayed once more, enabling the complete destruction of the Republic?”
