The Galactic Emperor's Gambit

By: Mike Robb

Narrated by: Shane Karas

Bill Bacey, a hardened assassin from the outer worlds, has a singular mission—eliminate the Galactic Emperor. After years of hyper-sleep and relentless training, Bill’s return to the moon base on Nova-Terra sets the stage for the perfect assassination. Disguising himself as a soldier and infiltrating the empire's inner circle, Bill's plan is flawless. That is, until the emperor himself reveals a threat far greater than anything Bill imagined—the ancient race of Hunabia, whose relentless destruction could end all life.

As Bill navigates deception, betrayal, and his own emotions—particularly after killing his wife, Jill, in a cold-blooded move—he is faced with an impossible choice: carry out his assassination, or heed the emperor's final plea to save humanity from total extinction.

When the battle against the Hunabia unfolds, Bill must use every skill he possesses, including the mysterious Keystone technology, to stop the oncoming storm. But the galaxy’s future hangs on a delicate thread, and the Furtiania, an ancient race, holds the key to a new beginning—or total destruction.

The Galactic Emperor's Gambit is an epic, high-stakes space adventure filled with unexpected twists, moral dilemmas, and thrilling action. Bill Bacey’s gambit will shape the fate of the galaxy itself.
