Garrick 7: Trust is the Real Weapon

By Ben Patterson

Brice Carol didn't ask to become visible.

One article did that for them.

Now there's a bounty on their head, corporations watching every move, and an offer of protection that feels less like security and more like a test. Aegis doesn't just provide bodyguards. It provides outcomes.

Assigned to Brice is Garrick 7-quiet, precise, and far more perceptive than any protection detail has a right to be. Together, they navigate corporate power plays, pirate backers, political pressure, and a war that almost happens because no one bothered to stop it early enough.

As truths surface and lines blur, Brice begins to understand the real battlefield isn't fought with weapons, but with restraint. Knowing when to act matters. Knowing when not to may matter more.

GARRICK 7: Trust is the Real Weapon is a smart, character-driven space-opera about responsibility, power, and the dangerous consequences of being seen-told with dry humor, sharp dialogue, and a partnership forged under fire.
