PRE-ORDER Lies That Bind Us: Mission 13 (available April 8)

Available to read as:

ebook, print, and audiobook
The only thing crazier than the rescue plan is the backup plan.

Carl Ramsey is a dead man. Or he will be soon. Captured by the Eyndar Empire, his old Third War service record becomes a list of charges. Actions that earned him commendations and acclaim from his own side resulted in thousands of deaths to his eyndar foes, and they plan to make a public celebration out of his executions. Plural. Thanks to medical science, they have Six Deaths lined up. With a calendar of events available via the omni, the Arete crew has a very literal deadline to work with formulating a rescue plan.

How does a small crew, even as gifted as those of the Arete, sneak into the capital city of an enemy species' homeworld, reach a captive of the highest profile, and get back out alive? To answer that question, an old friend has to reveal a long-kept secret.

Meanwhile, a forgotten member of the team works in the shadows on a contingency that just might be worse than failure.
