The Truth Won't Set You Free

Twenty years ago, on the planet Phantom, Tommy Cade took part in a military operation that went horribly wrong and culminated in a terrifying otherworldly encounter. Despite later becoming a war hero and a renowned golem hunter, Tommy has long struggled with traumatic flashbacks of the event—eventually forcing him to seek out a more peaceful existence. However, any hope of a quiet life is shattered by the sudden arrival of a strange and menacing man named Ward. Threatening the lives of Tommy's friends and loved ones, Ward coerces Tommy into one last golem hunt. Worse still, the hunt's location is in a region of the Milky Way defined by its lawlessness and racism—making it a perilous place for a biracial man like him. Yet if he survives, Tommy might finally learn the truth about what he encountered on Phantom all those years ago... and why it refuses to let him go.
