Dekker's Dozen: Austicon's Lockbox

By Christopher D. Schmitz

A young journalist disappears...
... right after interviewing the galaxy's most notorious criminal imprisoned at a max-lock facility.
What the investigators find could unravel the political fabric of the core worlds
and threaten the MEA government and its corps of mind readers who are committed to keeping their secrets at all costs.

Now, it's a race against government forces and pirate clans--the winner will claim the mythic treasure... but no one know what's truly inside the Lockbox--and everyone has their own intentions upon it and theories of what it holds.

Despite a cold trail of red herrings and the intervention of a babbling time-traveler, Dekker and his Dozen barely have time to get a heading. It seems that everyone is after Austicon's Lockbox, but the increasingly corrupt MEA government is locking down that part of space. It's not difficult to sell the stink of a cover-up for events that birthed the MEA during the Mechnar Contra.
A deep state hacker is leaking secrets, a second, ancient baal is uncovered, and two new and deadly threats resurface from the shadows. Only one thing is certain:
...something wicked is headed for Earth, and whatever it is, it's not from our universe.
