Synopsis

Decades ago, the Visitors descended on Earth. They claimed to bring peace and prosperity. Their real goal was the total subjugation of humankind. But humanity did not give up its only home without a fight.

After a devastating war, the Visitors were driven back to Mars. Their millions of willing human collaborators were left behind. The task of hunting down these former alien collaborators and bringing them to justice falls to Federal Recovery Agents like Nathan Foster.

Now, Nathan Foster is tasked with bringing to justice Emmogene Anderson. As a teenager, Emmogene was experimented on by the Visitors and implated with a device that allows her to control other people. With her is her obsessive ex-lover, who was also a former commando of the Visitors' forces. It's an easy enough job—but Emmogene has been implanted with something else, something much more important.

Nathan and Ben must decide what is right in a largely lawless world—and the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.

Contains mature themes.

This is Mike Kupari's first solo novel -- I was introduced to his work in the Dead Six series he co-authored with Larry Correia. This is a solid, first solo novel.

I received an advance reader copy of this book from Baen Books in exchange for an honest review. I had actually received it six months ago, but lost track of it on my Kindle until a couple of weeks ago. After an extended and bitter war against alien invaders and their human sympathizers, bounty hunte......more

Nathan Foster and his teenage nephew Ben are in The Family Business (hard from Baen) of finding wanted collaborators after the alien invaders were driven to Mars.

Nee to me Writer So, having had most of my interests focused on franchise stories, I decided to take chances on other author stories as mentioned on the podcast Writerdojo.
