Labyrinthian

A hunter should never fall for his prey.

A story set in the Line and Orbit world.

Still nursing his latest post-mission hangover, bounty hunter Theseus jumps at a high-paying, high-risk job that sounds ridiculously easy. Yet from the moment he nabs the alleged supersoldier with sedative gas, nothing is as it seems. On the run from the facility where he was created and raised, Taur is desperate to locate his genetically engineered brothers and sisters. To rescue them--and himself--from slavery. Waking aboard Theseus's ship, his fury is tempered by curiosity about his captor. Despite his doubts about his prisoner, Theseus figures it'd be risky to let Taur go--until they're thrown together by a shared betrayal. They declare a tentative truce as they flee from a shadowy and immensely powerful organization that will stop at nothing to find them. But as they wrestle with their growing feelings for each other, Taur and Theseus face an even greater danger. A lethal threat lurking inside Taur's own body, waiting to explode...
