Hard Bargain - Ward Blaze

Valentinian and Dave have escaped the Dominion’s Internal Security Bureau. Now they’re fleeing for their lives, heading for systems outside of Dominion control, looking for a place where they can rebuild their lives. Figure out what comes next. Who they want to be, or to become.

Hard Bargain—the second novel in the series, Shadow of the Dominion—takes you even further into Wildspace, human variants, and maybe even a crooked card game or two.

Be sure to read the first book, Longshot Hypothesis, as well as keep an eye out for the other books in the series!
