Mantis Rising

“I think this might be my best work yet,” — Robert E Colfax, Author.
Three years and seventeen novels after my debut series Aeolus Investigations, I’m ready to present a new saga, Mantis. Aeolus was a fun series to write, detailing the adventures of the protagonist, Lexi Stevens as she struggled to understand her place in the interstellar civilization called the Accord. Without her, the Accord would have been wiped out several times over.
My second science fiction series I called Beyond the Divide. Trisha and Gordon meet under unlikely circumstances. Then they join forces to defend the star nations of Known-space from the inimical aliens from beyond the divide. I’ll leave it to the imagination of the student to derive where the series title came from.
By anybody’s definition, MC Jones — the main character in Mantis — is a special woman. After dealing with her father, she sets herself on a mission of ending the lives of evil beings, be they men, women, or aliens. Her self-assigned purpose in life encounters an encumbrance when she comes into contact with people she actually likes. Her father made a huge mistake when he designed and trained her as a cybernetically enhanced assassin.
He died before he learned the full folly of letting a pissed-off assassin loose on the galaxy.
