Deceit

A galaxy on the edge of crumbling. A human who shouldn't exist. One last chance to save the stars.

Colonel Jerrel Abalias is furious with himself. After his best soldier dies at the hands of an assassin, he fears his failure may have cost the Dissension its last hope of winning the ages-long war. But one of his troops recognizes the killer's ship, and the hard-bitten warrior is determined to hunt it to the ends of the galaxy.

Dezmara Strykar is too cunning for her own good. After waking from cryosleep to find her race all but extinct and her memories completely wiped, the expert pilot is desperate for a sign she's not the only human left alive. But to fund her near-hopeless search, she turns to smuggling and gains the kind of notoriety that draws dangerous attention.

Setting a trap to bring the murderer to justice, Abalias races against time to salvage his people's crumbling hope. And accused of a crime she didn't commit, Dezmara finds herself pursued by an entire army bent on her destruction.

Can the gutsy survivor escape an ever-tightening noose, or will the Dissension hang her for a betrayal she knows nothing about?

Deceit is the pulse-pounding first book in The D-Evolution space opera fantasy series. If you like electrifying characters, sprawling universes, and gritty thrill rides, then you'll love Sean Allen's chase through the cosmos.

About the Author

Sean writes genre fiction. He grew up on Transformers (the cartoon, not Michael Bay), Thundercats (Ho!), Voltron, Robotech, Starblazers, Kung Fu Theater, boomboxes, and mixtapes. He loves Tolkien, Guy Ritchie, Guillermo Del Toro, and Star Wars. When he's not making stuff up and writing it down, he's slinging pixels in Silicon Valley, hanging out with his wife and two pups, and riding his motorcycle between cars faster than he probably should.
