Tyranny

The year is 2368, and a gang of privateers led by Amanda Callin is routinely savaging the fleet of interstellar cargo ships that carry freight between Earth's 12 colonies. The raiders attack without mercy, leaving death and destruction in their wake as they disappear back into uncharted space. The best efforts of the authorities to track down the marauders and bring them to justice have been ineffective.

Outlaw privateer Amanda Callin craves power and revenge. Revenge for the life she believes others have forced her to live, and the power to control the colonies of Earth. Everything falls within her grasp when she kidnaps Alex Ballard, the colonies' foremost computer developer.

In this, the third book of the Tyranny Series, it is the year 2370, and the colonies of Earth are breathing a collective two year sigh of relief. The constant barrage of attacks by Amanda Callin and her hoard of thugs have ceased, but did Callin really go away? Did she lose her resolve for seeking revenge against the colonies that caused her to disband her bedraggled gang of cutthroats forever?
