No Good Deed (#1)
A wrongful accusation drives him from Earth to the stars. Must he spend the rest of his life on the run?
Four hundred years after Earth established its first planetary colony, resources on the home planet are limited. Earth’s residents are divided into citizens, who have legal rights and a license to live, and the rest. The unlicensed have always been vulnerable, but to add to their troubles, a serial killer has begun to target them.
Scarlet is unlicensed. He and his partners exist outside the London walls, making a living by manufacturing and selling illegal lifestyle drugs. None of them expect to make old bones.
Maeve is unlicensed. She’s eighteen, and has survived by allowing a state guardian to exploit her. Now he’s sold her to a brothel outside the protection of London’s walls.
When Scarlet rescues Maeve from her violent owner, he has no idea that his good deed will lead to an accusation of multiple murder. Suddenly, the security forces are on his tail, forcing him to flee from Earth, to a small hub-station on the edge of unexplored space.
Close behind him are Maeve, a serial killer, a killer’s mother, and Scarlet’s two concerned business partners.
Hope Deferred (#2)
A lost job leads to a new opportunity, but will Scarlet survive long enough to take it.
Rioting in an asteroid belt leads to Scarlet losing his job on a supply shuttle, but before he can panic, he’s offered a new position as an apprentice on an explorer starship. Missing his family, but desperate for adventure, he visits Hope, the planet where they plan to make a life together. He means to explain his decision and leave again.
He doesn’t expect to find Hope seething with the possibility of rebellion, and he certainly doesn’t expect to find his family embroiled in the resistance movement. There’s no way he can disappear into distant galaxies for two years, while his family is in danger from the Earth authorities. Before he knows it, he’s been dragged into the conflict.
Will the rebels overcome their oppressors? Will Hope achieve independence? Scarlet’s desire for adventure doesn’t mean he wants to die in a war with Earth Forces.
