Antares Trap Novel - cover

It was supposed to be a simple assignment…

However, young Governor Reagan Vasilios uncovers something others want to stay hidden at all costs.

Corruption is spreading like a virus throughout the Antares system, pushing some down a slippery slope and others into a pit of annihilation. Reagan is faced with a decision: Stand up to corruption, or look the other way.

But his actions have dire consequences and a new dictatorship arises. War looms. Reagan is living on the edge not knowing that a deeper force is driving events. As democracy fragments, the balance of power shifts, and freedom becomes fragile.

Unexpectedly Reagan discovers a life form different than anything he has encountered before: Will it bring death to all in its path, or hold the key to the future?
