Outland Protocol

By: Ben Patterson

Nova Marlowe lives by three rules:
Track the mark.
Take the shot.
Get paid.
Simple.
Until notorious criminal Auden Graves puts a bounty on her head.
Most hunters would disappear into the outer sectors and pray the contract dies quietly. Nova does the opposite. She turns her ship around and goes hunting.
If Graves wants a war, she'll bring it straight to his door.
With her towering robot partner A.E.G.I.S. beside her and a crew that's useful on their best days and dangerous on the rest, Nova fights through ambushes, double-crosses, and running gun battles across the galaxy's roughest ports and deadliest trade routes.
But the contract was never about money.
Someone wants Nova erased before she uncovers the truth buried beneath the bounty, and every firefight drags her deeper into a conspiracy powerful enough to start a war.
Now the hunter has become the target.
And the people chasing her have no idea what they've started.

Outland Protocol is a gritty sci-fi action thriller packed with deadly contracts, outlaw ports, starship chases, armed standoffs, dangerous allies, and a relentless bounty hunter who hits back harder every time the galaxy takes its shot.
