Phase Line Escher

Liora loved a challenge, but when a snatch-and-grab mission on Earth goes wrong, the gifted intelligence operative finds herself tasked to retrieve a classified communications device. One with the power to upend the economic and military balance of known space. Roy is done with challenges. Discovering his home destroyed and friends scattered after returning from a lethally dangerous expedition, the veteran smuggler's only concern is keeping his crew alive and on the run. Soon, the two are swept up with the company of an advanced warship and a small band of soldiers in the opening phases of a vast interstellar conflict. A war that will challenge their assumptions about technology and the possibilities of augmenting human minds and perception.
