The Gray Matter

Book 3 in the Rebels and Patriots series

Though the worlds of the Imperium became a nightmare of oppression, the lost colonies have modeled themselves on an ancient dream of democracy and freedom.
Imperial Inspector Paul Grimm and Marine General Julia Urbica turn their backs on the Imperium and, in the colonies, they find something worth fighting for.
Bordering both the Imperium and the aliens of the Gray Quorum, the colonies have managed to thrive despite the menacing shadows of their neighbors but it has always been a precarious existence. In seizing their one chance at true independence, the worlds of the colonies might just lose everything.
The Gray Matter is a high-stakes tale of intrigue, atrocity and inter-species conflict - a universe tumbling toward war, ascendancy and decline.
