About this ebook
The Real Story is a short but intense tale set in a future in which humans travel between the stars using "gap drives," controllable brain implants are punishable by death, and a private company called the United Mining Company runs law enforcement for all of known space. Ensign Morn Hyland lives aboard a police ship with most of her family, chasing down pirates and other illegals who prey on the weak or smuggle goods into forbidden space.

The transformation of the the three main characters from hero to villain victim is remarkable, you'll hate Angus to start with but at the end of this epic space opera you'll be cheering him on. As hard as that seems after reading this first instalment.
