About the book
After retiring from his days as a fighter, John Perry now serves as the village ombudsman for a human colony on the distant planet of Huckleberry. Alongside his wife, the former Special Forces warrior Jane Sagan, they work on their farm, settle disputes within the community, and cherish the moments of seeing their adopted daughter grow.
However, their peaceful life is disrupted when their past comes knocking, pulling them back into the world of leadership as they are tasked with establishing a new human colony. This colony will be populated by settlers from various human worlds, all for a significant political agenda that will once again place Perry and Sagan in the midst of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.
