Enstasis: Voss's Vipers

By: Robert Iannone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

“Kessa, my love, I am so sorry.”

It was past time to end the curse that had plagued him since his youth. Voss finally understood what the gods demanded. But Dain — the arrogant prince who should have died years ago — was now king. And killing a king is never simple.

But justice for one isn’t justice for all. His father is dead. Reconciliation is no longer possible. His brother, heir to the throne, has been kidnapped. This is a family matter and only the Vipers can be trusted.

And Kessa, dearest Kessa, has been buried.

The Vipers, finally able to move on from the past, take a new assignment in the TyKo Expanse — routine, distant, uncomplicated. Assess. Report. Move on.

Instead, they uncover the early stirrings of something vast.
Staggering wealth.
Science untethered to morality.
Mechanical armies designed not for defense, but domination.

The Hellions have committed no crime. Not yet. Should they be punished for just thinking evil?

Voss and his Vipers stand on familiar ground – the moral high ground. The question is whether that ground will hold.

A fast-paced space opera with humor, heart, and consequences that matter."
