Hot, Cold, and Gray

When space pirates ruin Siegn’s day, the hunters are about to become the hunted.

They sent Radrick Siegn to Venus to keep him out of trouble. Before he even gets there, space pirates brutally hijack his ship. Life in the 23rd century really isn’t fair sometimes. The worst part? Siegn’s sadistic commanding officer survives the attack, too.

Tasked with recovering their ship, Siegn quickly learns that the Martian survivors are unwelcome guests on Venus Station. It’s almost as if someone doesn’t want him to find out too much about the pirates lurking beneath Venus’s cloud tops. But that never stopped Siegn before. With the help of some friends, and a dangerously beautiful local teenager, he embarks on an investigation that will take him into the squalid slums of Venus Station, beneath the toxic cloud tops, and ultimately to the surface, where metal melts into puddles… where no one has set foot before… or have they?

Venus is hiding a lot of secrets, but the most dangerous of all are the secrets Siegn himself must keep. He’s never before been so alone, distrusted, and hunted.

The pirates are going to pay for that. And they’d better give back Siegn’s cat, too.
