Blurb:

In a galaxy o cutthroat companies, shadowy clans and a million agendas, spy agency RIM barely wields enough control to keep order.

Maximus Black is RIM’s star cadet. But he has a problem. One of RIM’s best agents, Anneke Longshadow, knows there’s a mole in the organisation.

And Maximus has a lot to hide...

Review:

What a great start to an amazing trilogy. Anneke and Maximus are two main characters full of mystery. They are both RIM agents working against one another. They are great characters. I like how bit by bit we learn more about these two great characters.

 

It’s the best science fiction I have read. I love how it’s so far into the future and the technology is advanced. It makes you wonder what type of technology there will be in the future.
