Valentinian just wants to make a living hauling cargo between planets and stations. His new charter promises to be profitable, hauling an all-girl-band all over the Dominion. But trouble starts before they take off, and Valentinian has just hired a crewman with a shadowy past, big muscles, and the sort of military training that only the Dominator's Elite Assault Cavalry wields.

What else could possibly go wrong?

Longshot Hypothesis—the first novel in the new series, Shadow of the Dominion—is a fresh take on space merchants, space marines, and oh, yeah, hired muscle.

Be sure to be on the look-out for the other books in this series!
