Jaxton's Gambit: Book III of the Drake Chronicles
War made him a hero. Politics paint him as a traitor…
The mask is finally off. The true enemy has revealed itself. For over a decade, the Karathians—masters of manipulation—have orchestrated a hidden war, using the Hrum as mind-controlled weapons against an unsuspecting galaxy. Once feared as mindless monsters, the Hrum were victims all along—puppets of an enemy bent on the domination of all sentient life. Admiral Jaxton Drake exposed the truth… and now stands trial for it.
While Jaxton fights to clear his name and uncover the conspiracy behind his sister’s death, his brother Ryan defends his new homeworld—and the last free Hrum—from extermination. But as the Karathians unleash their buggavite plague, Ryan finds himself torn between his duty to the war and the family he’s trying to protect.
One brother hunts the truth. The other holds the line.
If they fail, humanity won’t see the enemy coming—until it’s already too late.
