Unlawful Orders by Rick Partlow
English | 2026 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
FOLLOW THE RULES OR SAVE THE GALAXY.
Cole Ransom, Captain of the ICA cruiser Mistral, is a man with a checkered past and a crew of misfits held together by loyalty and stolen parts. He’s made a career bending the rules.
And after being blamed for an incident that nearly restarted a galactic war, he’s used to being the Fleet’s favorite scapegoat.
But when a routine investigation leads Cole to stumble upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the United Systems Senate, everything changes.
He’s the only thing standing between a rogue supersoldier program built from illegal human augmentation and a cyborg army.
Hunted across outlaw worlds and outgunned at every turn, Cole must decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—to stop a war no one is ready for.
The orders are illegal. The mission is suicide. The Captain is a Renegade.
