Dark Science

For the Warp Wraith, the most dangerous moment comes after victory.Freeing the planet Circe from the grip of the Immortals has come at no small expense to the Wraith and his Revenants. With only a few battered starships and a handful of survivors to man them, another stand-up fight is out of the question. More, the strain of the campaign has opened divisions between once-unshakeable allies.But the job's not done.Control of the remainder of the star system remains in doubt. The Theocracy gathers its remaining forces around a small moon with a deadly secret. Deep in its core, ghoulish experiments into the very nature of life and undeath come to fruition. And with the entire moon converted into a weapon, The Dark Science Division will deliver the results of this unholy work into the skies over just-liberated Circe.The Wraith's enemies care nothing for life-or even victory. But he must protect it all. Born too strange for a normal world, K.J. Coble endures adulthood through long-distance running, rock 'n' roll guitar, and his writing. A love of history, weird fiction, and explosions fills his world-building. In his stories the righteous may suffer, but the corrupt get their comeuppance, and evil always receives its justly-deserved kick in the teeth.

Lairing somewhere in the Midwest, he is tolerated by his wife, three kids, and a very opinionated coonhound.
