    About this ebook

    in 2112, the chaos plague almost wiped out humanity until the red cross ship meridian found a cure, but unknown assailants attacked and destroyed the ship before the cure could be distributed.
    thirty years, criminal fixer ambrose has found a clue to the meridian in the wreck of a nearby ship, the darius. whoever finds the meridian controls the cure, whoever controls the cure can name their price.
    ambrose invites three male captains to a meeting: disgraced naval officer rigel tyrian, aging former cop turned bounty hunter lazlo, and an ex-soldier turned scavenger known as rabbit. at the last minute, tyrian is replaced by serena, a captain without a ship.
    for rabbit, the cure represents a path to redemption for a crime he committed years before. for lazlo, the prestige and status are everything to become the greatest bounty hunter in the colonies. for serena, the search is a chance to find her beloved older brother tobias, a bridge officer on the missing ship meridian, the only family she ever loved. against the captains is a shadow conspiracy called the hub- who hire sibling assassins sharon and robert caudell to hunt the three captains and their crews.
    from the back streets in Marseilles to a meeting of captains, serena steals a ship from her ex-husband and escapes to the colonies in pursuit of the darius with rabbit and lazlo in pursuit.
    three ships, three captains, one prize: the race is on.
    sharon caudell hires displaced competitor rigel tyrian to hunt and kill the three captains. surviving ambushes and desperate escapes, betrayals and the loss of loved ones, alliances with friends and enemies, the three crews reach the end of the chase, find the wreck of the darius, and the link to the meridian. The climactic four-sided battle begins as betrayals and loyalties change the balance of victory.
    the story ends with serena one step ahead of her rivals, but the story far from over.
    three captains, three ships, one prize- the race is still on.

    Jacob Larch

    Jacob Larch is a screenwriter, script editor and author, recipient of an international screenwriter’s award with a wealth of scripts covering almost every genre. Commended in feedback by top-level British Television production companies for “lively, entertaining scripts”, “remarkable characterization and development” and “innovative ideas that leap off the page”, Jacob has been building his writing résumé for seven years ever since his first T.V Drama pitch, Post Mortem, earned an invite to a script feedback meeting at Shepherd’s Bush with the B.B.C. One film-maker commented “never have I met someone so sensitive, he can write female characters better than most women writers I know” As a novelist, his work has been critiqued as having “a sheer breadth of imagination”, prompting a recent decision to self-publish his first series of Novels. BACKGROUND Jacob was born left-handed into a strict education that did not permit left-handed children. Forced to use his right hand, Jacob developed a life-changing speech defect at the age of four that remained until a variety of factors, and friends, helped him overcome his communication difficulties by the age of twenty-five. “As a child, I would stammer, stutter, and hesitate. Most people had one defect, I had all three. I knew the words I wanted to say, but couldn’t get them past my mouth. I would search for any clue, any indication in the face and the body language of the people around me to avoid speaking aloud. Years later I discovered behavioral science and realized the skills they taught were the same social observation skills I developed naturally through childhood. I was a people watcher, an observer of emotion, nuance, the subtle changes in face and eyes to bring about the wealth of non-verbal communication” Added to work in the criminal justice system, Jacob has spent half his life assisting prosecutors, working with members of the constabulary, and in recent years specializing in work with victims of crime. In his time he has met and dealt with literally thousands of people often under both professional and emotionally charged situations, giving him a greater insight into the human condition. He described one aspect of his work thus: “It’s part of my job to walk into a room and meet the victims of a crime about to give evidence in the Crown Court. In thirty seconds I have to assess what kind of witness they would make, and read the best way of establishing a dialogue. When you’re afraid, everyone is different: some react to humor, others to an authority figure, some like to be gently guided and some just want a friend, whilst others just want someone to tell them it’s going to be okay. Everyone is scared, no-one wants to be there, and they don’t want to give evidence against those who made them victims at the outset. In almost all cases I can take a terrified, nervous victim of the worst of crimes, make them feel good about themselves, give them confidence and empower them with the drive, determination, and self-belief to do what they came to court to do. I love meeting people, talking to them, and helping them” WHERE DO THE IDEAS COME FROM? “The ideas come from all over. Sometimes a snatch of a song, a passing remark from someone else’s conversation, sometimes a scent in the air or a soundtrack (I have many) that sparks an emotion”
