No Clean Exit: Trust is a Liability

By Ben Patterson

Trust is a Liability

Alex didn't grow up with rules.

She grew up surviving.

In Sector Ten, that's the only qualification that matters.

What used to be the worst place in the galaxy is changing-faster routes, tighter crews, something almost resembling order. But progress has a way of making enemies, and the people who profited from chaos aren't about to let it go quietly.

When old power starts pushing back, Alex and her crew find themselves caught between what Sector Ten was... and what it's becoming.

A reformed system.

A fragile network built on trust.

And enemies who don't believe in either.

With Chuck at her side and a future she never expected starting to take shape, Alex has a choice:

Hold the line...

Or burn everything down before it's taken from her.

Because in Sector Ten, there's one truth nobody escapes:

There's no clean exit.
