Skiff (The Skiff Trilogy Book 1)

Her nose found the body easily when the breeze shifted. It wasn’t just that the head was missing. It was the way that what remained of the neck had been ripped and torn. But it was the characteristic localised heat damage that convinced her. She had seen this before.

Skiff: here to prepare Earth for first contact, she is loved and hated equally both by clients and the intelligence community, none of whom are aware of her mission. Hated because she is always far enough ahead of the curve to wrong-foot any attempts to recruit her; loved because her integrity is uncrackable and she always delivers.

Link: an expert hacker with a murky past. Just the kind of guy Skiff needs as a wingman.

Boscombe: a weapons merchant from off-planet who loves his work. Wars are good: who wouldn’t sell atomics to chimps for the right price? His first contact on earth is the ideal customer: Vladimir, a vicious Russian gangster.

Set in the near future, Skiff is a novel of espionage and politics; a science fiction/techno thriller packed with action, suspense, and charismatic heroes.
