Meet Vesuvius: the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter with a blood-soaked past.

His mission? Protect a kid.

But he’s not just any kid—Adam is the prophesied savior. Vesuvius’s contract mandates safe delivery to the religious sect that believes this, navigating a perilous universe where every faction seeks to exploit the boy.

There are enemies at each corner and a betrayal from within his own order.

Vesuvius must outwit foes. Ensure Adam's survival. All while wrestling with a past that he thought he'd killed.

Stakes have never been higher.

If he fails in delivering Adam, the universe is sure to plunge into chaos. If he succeeds, perhaps he can find redemption.

Will this unexpected hero deliver salvation or destruction? Find out in Shadow Contract by bestseller David Beers, the start of a rollicking science fiction adventure steeped in danger, loyalty, and a flicker of hope for the future.
