Disposable Dagger

Power doesn't come cheap in settled space - just ask Xavial Dedmon. As the right hand of Armitage Bek, CEO of the Interstellar Cohort, Dedmon has clawed his way to the top through cunning, perception, and an uncanny ability to read those around him. He's made himself indispensable while serving his own hidden agenda. But when a routine corporate acquisition turns into a deadly game of double-crosses, Dedmon finds himself caught between two ruthless megacorps willing to kill to control the future of interstellar commerce. Now he'll need every trick in his considerable arsenal to survive - and still deliver the deal his boss demands. From the universe that brought you Galilee Walker and The Hourglass comes a tale of corporate intrigue, betrayal, and one fixer's dangerous dance with powers beyond his control.
