The Un-Citizen

Twenty years ago, freighter captain Ricardo Oliveira was left for dead by the cold, rigid doctrine of the Terran Federation. Now, he is O Fantasma, The Ghost, a legend in the lawless fringe, a man whose entire existence is fueled by a single, burning purpose: revenge against the officer who abandoned him, Admiral Helena Monteiro.
Monteiro, the celebrated protector of the frontier, embodies the very system Oliveira despises. She is the Federation’s perfect soldier, her belief in protocol absolute. While she fights a slow, losing war against the relentless, reptilian Hugabouts, Oliveira operates in the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike.
But when a high-stakes gamble lands him the enemy’s greatest secret, the location of the alien hatchery that fuels their entire war machine, Oliveira faces an impossible choice. The only person who can use his weapon is the one person he wants to destroy. To save humanity, he must empower his sworn enemy. To get his revenge, he must let the galaxy burn.
Forced into a bitter alliance, the ghost and the admiral must find a way to trust each other before their own war destroys humanity’s last hope for survival.
