[Interstellar Outlaws 01] • Defiance

**Defiance: Interstellar Outlaws Book 1**

Ginny Winters was a hero in the last Great War. She served bravely and with distinction in the rebellion that toppled a corrupt government and replaced it with a government truly representative of the people.

Or so she believed at the time.

The UCP – the United Coalition of Planets – boasts hundreds of worlds in star systems near and far among its members. And those planets and systems who remain outside the realm of the UCP are being cowed to its will.

It's been fifteen years since the Great War and Ginny has grown disillusioned with the government they put in place. She sees the same abuses of power in the UCP that she saw in the last regime. As a result, she's withdrawn from the government and is content living life on the fringes. Living the life of a smuggler.

But when a mysterious stranger seeks to hire her to transport him, things start to change quickly.

The job, which was supposed to be a simple one, quickly gets more complicated as she suddenly finds herself directly in the crosshairs of the UCP.

Tracked and hunted by an army of bounty hunters, and the UCP military itself, Ginny must decide whether to finish the job and be drawn back into that world of rebellions and political intrigue, or put her passenger out at the nearest port and be on her way.

The lives of billions hang in the balance of her decision: Help topple a corrupt regime? Or cling to a life of hard-won freedom and independence among the stars.

The clock is ticking.
