Blood Money: Private Little War

By Ben Patterson

Private Little War

Cass Derringer makes her living keeping the truth alive.

It's a dangerous habit.

She asks questions. She doesn't get attached. And she doesn't work cheap.

Harold Stafford was supposed to be a routine escort job. A story for the Tribune. Instead, his homeworld is collapsing under an alien hive intelligence that twists minds, seizes cities, and spreads without mercy.

Now Cass is trapped.

The planet is dying.

With her battle-hardened droid Taurus and a crew of mercenaries who owe her more than money, she'll have to do more than guard a client. She'll have to take the fight to the hive's control source and burn it out at the root.

Because this enemy doesn't negotiate.

It doesn't retreat.

And it doesn't stop.

Cass Derringer doesn't either.
