What if being a hero was encoded in your genes?

And nobody told you?

Casmir Dabrowski would laugh if someone asked him that. After all, he had to build a robot to protect himself from bullies when he was in school.

Fortunately, life is a little better these days. He’s an accomplished robotics engineer, a respected professor, and he almost never gets picked on in the lunchroom. But he’s positive heroics are for other people. Until robot assassins stride onto campus and try to kill him.

Forced to flee the work he loves and the only home he’s ever known, Casmir catches the first ship into space, where he hopes to buy time to figure out who wants him dead and why. If he can’t, he’ll never be able to return home.

But he soon finds himself entangled with bounty hunters, mercenaries, and pirates, including the most feared criminal in the Star Kingdom: Captain Tenebris Rache.

Rache could snap his spine with one cybernetically enhanced finger, but he may be the only person with the answer Casmir desperately needs: What in his genes is worth killing for?

Unlike most captains, Alex Racine can’t detect an anomaly, log it, and ignore it. His curiosity drives him to push his ship to its limits, swinging around a massive planet to gain the velocity he needs to intercept the object.

What he captures in the dark isn’t an asteroid. It’s a crippled starship. Survivors of a lost colony ship are in stasis, and a self-aware digital entity is only hours from ending its existence. There’s the unmistakable evidence of damage from a powerful weapon that his people have never seen. It’s a first contact no one planned for, with a civilization as human as Alex’s own and a threat from anything but.

The adversary has consumed entire worlds for six decades without leaving a single survivor to warn others. It does not respond to hails, does not negotiate, and does not stop its advance. Now two long-separated branches of humankind divided by a vast technological gulf must come together to have a fighting chance to survive.

She swore to serve him. He wants nothing more than to set her free.

Avinasi Lumadai has given her oath, and to her people, an oath is not something that can simply be abandoned. She is Skamsen Duhkai’s slave, bound to follow three steps behind her master wherever he chooses to go.

Skamsen would rather she didn’t.

Once a highly trained assassin, Skamsen has turned his back on that life for the quieter work of a bounty hunter. But there is one piece of his past he has never been able to leave behind: the murder of his wife and unborn child. After years of searching, he finally has a trail to the man responsible—and he intends to follow it to the end.

Avinasi intends to follow him.

Their journey carries them across a dangerous empire of bounty hunters, soldiers, assassins, rebels, and men willing to kill for secrets best left buried. But the farther Avinasi travels from everything she has ever known, the more she begins to see the man beneath her master’s anger. And she becomes convinced Skamsen is wrong about himself.

He believes vengeance is all he has left. She believes there is still something in him worth saving.

Unfortunately, Skamsen never asked to be saved.

An epic fantasy of dangerous journeys, unlikely companionship, loyalty, vengeance, and the complicated bonds created by promises that cannot easily be broken, Three Steps Back: First Command begins the Twice Seven a Slave series.
