Book 2 in the Sapphire Sky Archives!

Have you ever wanted to orchestrate a breathtaking big-money heist?

Oraselium β-328. How dangerous is it? And what about Chrome Jade Helioprase?

Is CJH really the most valuable substance in the multiverse? If so, how much can a crafty grifter run off with in a freaking blink of an eye?

In chaotic times, a con artist’s “alert opportunism” and heartfelt intuition can turn mayhem into millions. But why run so cheap? Why stop there? Why not turn bedlam into billions? And turmoil into trillions! Isn’t anything worth doing, worth doing well?

With aliens deciding the fate of her planetary system, can Lissaya Anning bring another ingenious scheme to fruition before conflicting conspiracies upend her entire world? Confronted by assassinations, political intrigue, and her own double from a parallel reality, how long will it take Lissaya to understand that real strength lies within the bonds of friendship and family?

And what if Lissaya asked YOU to join her heist crew and travel with her aboard Sapphire Sky? Wouldn’t you jump at the chance? So why not snag a copy of Double Take right this second?

From the author of Fire and Forget, Significant Others, and Cross the Sky. Perfect for fans of Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky or Dewey Gram’s Ocean’s 11, Double Take will draw you in and refuse to let go!

Cross the Sky

Book 1 in the Sapphire Sky Archives!

Some secrets should remain…hush-hush.

But who can ignore the fact that the lost starliner, Aquila, may be up for grabs?

Lissaya Anning does not see force fields or sealed starship hatches as obstacles but as invitations. After enduring years of servitude and starvation, she is ready for the SCORE of a lifetime. But can Lissaya’s heist crew retrieve Aquila before a hidden conspiracy upends their entire world?

How ginormous is Aquila’s treasure? Last seen ferrying gold, palladium, and rare artworks, Aquila is the richest ship ever lost to the rifts. Unfortunately, her cargo may also include a dangerous virus. A synthetic virus so potent that alien retribution for its mere existence could cause humanity’s extinction!

Facing alien intrigue and the rift’s crisscrossing tides of dark-energy unreality, Lissaya flies into the future aboard “Sapphire Sky.” Care to travel along with her?

Cross the Sky echoes aspects of C. J. Cherryh’s Downbelow Station, Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky, and Dewey Gram’s Ocean’s 11.

From the author of Lesser Beings, Fire and Forget, and Broken Bells. Writing, “…reminiscent of the fine tales of Ray Bradbury or Zenna Henderson—the kinds of stories that will always be in demand.” — Dave Wolverton, Writers of the Future.
