Assassin on Centauri B
(2017)(The eighth book in the Nick Walker, U.F. Marshal series)
A novel by John Bowers
As a U.F. Marshal, Nick Walker has tracked down bad guys all over the Final Frontier. He has taken down killers, corrupt corporations, slave traders, mercenaries, terrorists, and criminal religious cults. But when two government agents drag Nick off to a secret meeting with a clandestine politician, it can't be good.
And it isn't.
A Federation Ambassador has been assassinated. Beta Centauri is about to ally with Sirius, which has turned rogue and now threatens other star systems. Federation President Vivian White Wolf is scheduled for a diplomatic summit in three weeks, but Beta C is controlled by the Rukranian mob and her mission may be compromised. The Federation needs an undercover man - a gunslinger - to turn things around.
Nick, who has never worked undercover, has three weeks to get the job done. And there are no rules.
Not only Nick's life hangs in the balance, but so does the future of three star systems. If he gets caught, the Federation can't afford the diplomatic fallout - he is on his own - and even if he survives the mission, an assassin is waiting for him at home.
This is Nick as you've never seen him, working alone on a hostile planet where a single error can mean violent, agonizing death. The Rukranian mob is ruthless and unforgiving; can Nick break their stranglehold on the BC government and give diplomacy a chance? Don't miss the bullets, the bombs, the hair-raising intrigue, the violence and betrayal as Nick Walker embarks on his most dangerous mission yet.
Genre: Science Fiction
