Tilted Axis (Orion Axis Book 1)

Anna Sadler's murder sent a message.

To who, Michael 'Ward' Miller isn't exactly sure. Whoever killed his partner was a pro. She was shot at an impossible distance, by a weapon that isn't supposed to exist. But Sadler wasn't just his partner, she was the best person he knew. Now she's dead, and Ward won't rest until he finds out who was responsible.

But on Mars, 2342 AD, anyone could be the killer. The Solar System is awash with spies, mercenaries and powerful, unaccountable corporations. After powerful aliens arrived a hundred years before, colonizing the red planet, our system was thrown into chaos. The Martians were stronger, more advanced, and remorseless. They could have wiped us out. Instead we struck a fragile, uneasy truce.

And now someone wants to blow the whole thing up. And maybe, take humanity with it.

Ward was supposed to be out of the espionage business. Now he has seven days to uncover the conspiracy that killed his partner.

Or let the entire system go up in flames...
