The Blunt End of Oblivion
Book 2 of the Blunt End series
The renegade Commodore Jacks is back, and with a new ship and a new crew he’s about to embark on a career as a privateer. But before that, he has some unfinished business to attend to – he’s sworn bloody revenge on all who wronged him. And that includes the military hierarchy that discarded him, the judiciary that incarcerated him and Chuck Poulson for the heinous crime of not dying when he was supposed to.
But Jacks has enemies of his own. The infamous Delph crime syndicate also wants payback for the murder of one of their own, and for once it isn’t business, it’s very personal.
And while Jacks and the Delph Consortium are playing their deadly games, both are firmly in the sights of the redoubtable Detective Chief Inspector Burns and Detective Sergeant Mullins.
As Jacks, the Delph and DCI Burns pursue each other across the length and breadth of known space, the action inevitably swings back the newly frocked Lieutenant Chuck Poulson and Ensign Penny Parker. With the fate of thousands of colonists in their hands, they once again find themselves at the center of intrigue in a tale of sabotage, murder, sacrifice and valor.
