A colony world goes dark. Grace Gushiken is a grifter and a liar. Worse, she's an esper, an abhorrent creation of the Old Empire. Grace keeps her blade sharp and her wits sharper. She's on the run from the Republic's justice. Nathan Chevell captains the free trader Tyche, an ex-war heavy lifter. He's no pirate, but he's no white knight either. An encounter with espers saw him discharged from the Emperor's Black before the real fighting even started. When the crew of the Tyche are hired to deliver a new transmitter for a downed Guild Bridge, Grace hitches a ride. They find the Absalom Delta colony deserted, its people turned into slaves by the insect-like Ezeroc. The aliens have descended like locusts on humanity, consuming all in their path. No one is safe. Even the Republic Navy is powerless against them. Facing an impossible foe, odds are stacked against the Tyche. The ship and her crew need to test their skill and their luck to survive. Will Grace and Nate be able to work together to get away? Or will fears and rivalries from the past destroy humanity's hopes, ceding victory to the Ezeroc? Tyche's Flight is the first book in Richard Parry's gripping Tyche's Journey trilogy. If you like page-turning space opera with great dialogue and heart-pumping action, get your copy today
