The Shattered Bull

As the colony planet Danos struggles to survive the aftermath of an interstellar war, Inspector Dreksul Pierce pursues the killer of a notorious member of the corporatist government while confronting his wife's mysterious death and a society corrupted by its own desires.

As Pierce investigates the murder of Hal “The Bull” Nye, whose body was reduced to ash, a mysterious message and a mythical piece of technology seem to hold the clues that will expose the killer. Black market technology, old friends with shady pasts, underground organizations, and an anonymous tip lead Pierce towards the murderer. As the machinery of investigation closes in on the Bull’s young girlfriend, Dreksul risks it all to save her and save his illusions of a society that believes in truth.
