Bigger spaceships. Bigger explosions. Bigger planets. Bigger
problems. It's been three years since Esa joined the ranks of the
Justified after her rescue from the fanatical murderers the Pax.
Together, Esa and her mentor Kamali travel from planet to planet,
searching for children with supernatural abilities. It's hard work,
but Esa has never felt more assured of her place in the universe.
On a visit to a planet so remote that its inhabitants never learned
that the Sect Wars ended over a hundred years ago, they learn that
the Justified are not the only people searching for gifted
children. There is a creature with unexpected powers who will stop
at nothing to get its hands on the children that Esa and Kamali are
trying to rescue. With their latest recruit in tow -- a young Wulf
child named Sho -- Esa and Kamali will travel halfway across the
galaxy in pursuit of answers. But the answers only lead to more
questions, and the danger will only increase as their terrifying
nemesis turns his eyes on them. * * * Praise for Drew Williams and

The explosive conclusion to the epic saga that started with THE
STARS NOW UNCLAIMED, the space opera SFX calls 'a glorious romp'!
Always outnumbered, always outflanked. That's the motto of the
Justified, the small band of mercenaries who are determined to set
the universe to rights after accidentally unleashing a cataclysm
upon it. Find the fight before it finds you. But they're not the
only people who are trying to change the order of the universe. A
group of psychotic beings, the Cyn, seem determined to stop the
Justified. Hit them before they hit you. This little band of heroes
are going to have to travel to the farthest reaches of the universe
in order to stop the Cyn and save the world. But there's a balance
to the universe... and they're just about to upset it. Hard. ***

STARS NOW UNCLAIMED is the incredible debut by a brilliant new
voice in science fiction, perfect for everyone who loves READY
PLAYER ONE, STAR WARS, MASS EFFECT or just a really huge battle...
AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION A century ago, a mysterious pulse of energy
spread across the universe. Meant to usher in a new era of peace
and prosperity, it instead destroyed technology indiscriminately,
leaving some worlds untouched and throwing others into total chaos.
AN UNSTOPPABLE ENEMY The Justified, a mysterious group of
super-soldiers, have spent a hundred years trying to find a way to
restore order to the universe. Their greatest asset is the feared
mercenary Kamali, who travels from planet to planet searching for
gifted young people and bringing them to the secret world she calls
home. Kamali hopes that those she rescues will be able to find a
way to reverse the damage the pulse wreaked, and ensure that it
never returns. THE END OF THE UNIVERSE But Kamali isn't the only
person looking for answers to unimaginable questions. And when her
mission to rescue a grumpy teenaged girl named Esa goes off the
rails, Kamali suddenly finds herself smack in the centre of an
intergalactic war... that she started. AND THAT'S JUST THE
BEGINNING * * * Readers LOVE The Stars Now Unclaimed * * *
