The Human Factor

About the book

Captain Jason Burke is a unique individual, being the only one of his kind for thousands of lightyears in any direction. The modifications to his body and genetic code have enhanced his abilities, making him faster, stronger, and better equipped to survive in his dangerous line of work. However, these changes have also alienated him from others of his species, ensuring that he will never truly belong.

He had always accepted the fact that he would live and die alongside his crew, never expecting to encounter another human again. Therefore, he was caught off guard by the sudden crisis that landed on his doorstep.

Upon discovering through secretive channels that Earth may be facing a threat, and that he may have played a role in it, the mercenary captain is faced with a dilemma. Should he turn a blind eye and let his species fend for themselves, or should he intervene, potentially exacerbating the situation? Can he simply stand by while his kind faces such a grave danger?
