Commander Paladin, Pirate Hunter

Experience is on his side as Paladin takes off on galactic hunting expeditions in Devlin O’Neill’s newest adventure that goes beyond naughty into territory that can be decidedly un-nice at times. Pirates of all kinds attempt to play for keeps in this futuristic adventure, but the commander has other ideas and is determined not only to put paid to their accounts, but to charge them interest. O’Neill fans won’t be surprised at how often he collects on blushing bottoms and writes receipts on tear-stained cheeks. But the renowned romance author also has a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to dealing with the universe’s bad boys and their nefarious deeds. The story lines are ambitious and far-flung, coming together in an ending that will surprise even the savviest of clue seekers. It’s enough to make fans plead for more in a future beyond this world.
