On Monday, 18 May 2020 (fingers crossed), Winged Lion will go live on Amazon. Winged Lion is a standalone novel in the Reunification Series, meaning you don’t need to know Mala Dusa or her friends the Tarakana to enjoy this story. (MD's journey isn’t over yet. She has another tale to tell soon in Wandering Free. And, yeah, she does have a cameo in this book. She asked nicely, and you don't say no to the Princess Mala Dusa. )
Winged Lion is set a few years after the events of Wandering Storm. The Tarakana have a new cast of flawed characters to mess with, leading the crew of the Gattino Alato into an adventure none of them may survive.
From the back cover:
You play the hand you’re dealt. Anything else they call cheating.
Captain Thomas Benson pushes cargo between worlds for the Trade Guild of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. His Gattino Alato is a small ship and the crew is tight. The cards turn over easy most days, and the memory of what he left behind is far away.
Now the rebellion has dealt him a new hand. Privateers haunt the trade routes between planets still loyal to the Union. Tales of broken ships, stolen cargoes, and dead crews fill the Shipping News. His only protections are speed, luck, and the vast cold dark. But luck can run out and the Trade Guild is not forgiving of captains who lose their cargoes, especially not a container critical to the Union Aerospace Force.
On the run from the Guild, the Union Marines, and a pirate captain looking for revenge, rescuing his crew is just the first step toward redemption. With the survival of the Union at stake, the cards have turned unfriendly and walking away from the game is no longer an option.
