Ten Low

Ten Low: Book 1

Stark Holborn

Ten Low is eking out a living at the universe's edge. An ex-medic, ex-con, desperate to escape her memories of the war, she still hasn't learnt that no good deed goes unpunished.

Attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl from a crashed lifecraft. But Gabriella Ortiz is no ordinary girl --; she is a genetically-engineered super soldier and decorated General, part of the army that kept Ten prisoner. Worse, Ten realises the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants Ortiz dead...

To get the General off-world, they must cross the moon's lawless wastes, face military hit squads, savage bandits, organ sharks and good old-fashioned treachery. But as they race to safety, something else waits in the darkness. Something ancient and patient. Something that knows exactly who she is, and what she is really running from.

Hel's Eight

Ten Low: Book 2

Stark Holborn

Ten "Doc" Low is a medic with a dark past, riding the wastes of the desert moon Factus, dispensing medicine to the needy and death to those who cross the laws of the mysterious Seekers. Cursed by otherworldly forces, she stays alone to keep herself safe, and to keep others safe from her...

But when she experiences a terrifying vision of conflict and the deaths of those she once called friends, she must drag herself back to the land of the living to stop a war before it begins. With rebellion brewing, the Accord's grip on the Outer Moons weakening and a sinister tycoon buying up all land in sight, Ten must find allies where she can and face the past in order to save the future. The cost will be greater than she could ever have imagined...

Ninth Life: The Factus Sequence

Ten Low: Book 3

Stark Holborn

A clash of law and lawlessness, storytelling and truth in a headlong romp across the stars...

After forty years of wreaking havoc across the galaxy, the outlaw Nine Lives -- AKA Former General Gabriella Ortiz -- has finally run out of lives. Shot down into a backwater at the system's edge, she is rescued by Deputy Air Marshall Havemercy Grey.

Hav is a true soul, trying to uphold what is right in the heedless wastes. Hav is determined to see justice done. And Hav could sure use that 20-million bounty...

But escorting the most dangerous fugitive in the system across the stars is no easy task, especially when decades of fire and destruction are catching up with her, and every gutspill with a pistol wants that payday. So when Ortiz offers a deal -- to keep them both alive, as long as Hav listens to the stories of her lives -- Hav can't refuse.

There's just one catch: everywhere they go, during every brawl and gunfight and explosive escape, people say the same thing -- don't let her talk...
