The Manukan Gambit: Book Two of the Wit's End Arc

By John W. McIntire

Baz and Keira are still smugglers. They're still not heroes.

But that hasn't stopped them from making powerful enemies.

After the chaos on Freeport Perseus, they're pulled deeper into a conflict they barely understand. This time under the watchful eye of Ryn, a deadly operative with secrets of her own. What should have been a simple job quickly turns into something far more dangerous.

Because someone is watching.

Someone is planning.

And the weapons being built in the shadows aren't just rumors.

They're real.

As the situation spirals and danger closes in, Baz and Keira are forced to make a choice: cut their losses and run, or stand their ground against a threat far bigger than they ever signed up for.

Because this time, walking away isn't just survival.

It's surrender.
