Shadow of Ruin
An attack from feline assassins lures a bounty hunter and his beautiful partners into icy dangers and more in this science fiction adventure.
On Neb-6, only the strong survive.
When a band of inhuman assassins comes after Colt and his bounty-hunting femme-fatales, Jenna and Brem, they set in motion events that will shape Colt’s destiny for years to come, if he lives long enough, anyway.
Forced to leave the warm desert sands of his home, the Crow’s Nest, Colt must brave the brutal, arctic conditions of Geleira, Neb-6’s southern polar continent. Only there can he learn who the assassins are and why they want Colt dead. As the mystery unravels, Colt discovers something older, colder, and far deadlier than arctic-born, feline assassins. Evil lurks beneath the rocks and ice of Geleira, and it wants all of humanity destroyed.
