Talon the Raider
A. A. WarrenEpic space battles, a dark queen, and a horde of alien monsters...
After a lifetime staining the sands of the arena with his enemies' blood, Talon is finally a free man, eager to make his own way through the galaxy. It doesn't go well.
When a space battle devastates his ship, Talon finds himself crashing on the ice world of Neros. And his only ally, a feisty stowaway named Vaki, can't decide if she wants to help him or stick a knife in his back...
Struggling to survive on the frigid world, Talon and Vaki must overcome freezing temperatures, violent quakes, and a horde of deadly creatures. Their only hope for escape lies in an alliance with Queen Katara, the exiled ruler of a brutal mining colony.
But the seductive queen's bargain may prove even deadlier than the planet itself...
