The Bounty Hunter Series Three

The Bounty Hunter stories are a series of novels and novellas following the adventures of Burke Monrow and AI Cass. A bounty hunting duo, they take contracts around the galaxy, apprehending criminals, murderers, vicious aliens, and abide by their own moral code.

The series is best read in order, as there is a larger plot arc that connects the series; however, each installment can be read and enjoyed on its own for the individual story line of each novella. Some names and references to prior events are made, but most can be understood in the context of the story.

This is a collection of all the books from Series Three:


Book One, The Silver Crusader:

People are dying on Aerecura, the new capital planet in human space after the fall of Earth. A serial killer is loose in the system of Prime, leaving behind a trail of bodies and a grisly signature to mark their work. Burke and Cass, freshly elevated with new fame from their previous job, are hired to track the murderer down and put an end to the killings.

The Silver Crusader picks up where Series Two left off. After a time of healing, Burke Monrow is finding his life more complicated than ever--with a new cybernetic part installed in his skull that may be the least of his worries. Cass, too, has her life permanently altered by a new body of work to keep her more than occupied.

In the past, Moira Forester throws herself into Sol's navy to defend her home planet. She climbs to the rank of Sergeant and meets a young Burke Monrow in the first days of his military career.

Book Three, Containment Breach:

Burke and Cass are forced to return to the place where their power armor was developed, and where Cass was first created: ACU.

Book Four, The Girl from Liveria:

Burke and Cass take a simple job: to catch a murderer on a planet in human space. Liveria, with its single city that encompasses the entire world, is a place flooded by rain and millions of refugees from Earth. Harold White, the bounty hunter's target, has chosen the planet as his new home.

There are threats other than Harold on Liveria, however, and Cass soon finds herself fighting for the new life she has become accustomed to.

Book Five, Being Human:

Armed with the newly acquired technology needed to identify the shapeshifter aliens known as the varimorphs, the crew of the Brisbane head to a planet where a suspected member of the species is hiding in a human town. Just getting there, however, proves to be difficult when the varimorph detector registers that one of the aliens is already on board the ship. One of the crew has their humanity put to the test.

Book Six, Sin Eater:

The crew of the Brisbane heads to the heart of Vruan-controlled space in pursuit of Taggus, a smuggler that eluded them a year earlier. Unbeknownst to Burke and Cass, Moira and her fleet are also traveling to the same star system as the deadline for the destruction of Earth looms closer.
