[Starship Fairfax_The Kuiper Chronicles 03] • The Neptune Contingency

**You can take the man out of the war, but not the war out of the man.**

Gavin Dolridge has a problem. And no matter how long he lays low farming potatoes on his family farm hab on Pluto, his knowledge of the Council's secrets isn't going away. He's got a target on his back, and his only choice may be to run or die.

**The enemy of my enemy...**

Ada Xander is in over her head. After leaving the Colonies to track down her father, she's fallen in with pirates, a massive organized crime syndicate, and a rogue Colonial battleship whose captain and crew have their own ideas when it comes to diplomatic solutions. But when a massive force of AI-controlled drones begins leaving a trail of death in its wake, all bets are off, and all the chips are on the table.

Can Dolridge stay alive long enough to make amends for his silence? Will Ada survive the battle-torn inner system and come any closer to finding what she seeks?

It is also precluded by The Lunar Gambit (Book 1), "Totaled" (a free prequel short story), and "The Trials of Io" (a free prequel short story exclusive to mailing list subscribers).
