Rising Resistance - John Wilker

Jax is beginning to question this whole doing the right thing, thing.

While laying low after their last adventure, Naomi gets a call from her estranged parents. They need her help. Going to the rescue of a pair of oldsters doesn't seem so bad, and it gets them off the station which is nice.

Until things, as they do, go sideways.

One thing leads to another and they are roped into helping the resistance destroy a secret imperial lab that could provide the emperor an unlimited supply of troopers. Our heroes find themselves on the front lines of the opening salvos of a new civil war.

Now, it's a race to thwart the empire, not get killed or caught, while keeping the nicest little Japanese couple ever, safe.

No one ever told Jax the cost of being a good guy could be this high.
