Ethos of Cain

The perfection of cold fusion and CasiDrive propulsion had lifted humanity into the wider solar system-and widened the gulf between the nameless masses and the sovereign-class wealthy. Into the grey between corporate and criminal walked Cain, a soldat de fortune, who, for the last twenty years, had taken scores and completed contracts for the elites of any world, impenetrable, abstruse, and solitary. All of that changed one year ago when, after a triste with a former client turned into a romance, Cain's relationship with Francesca caused him to question how he could walk in her world and survive in his own. The boundaries of their lives then came crashing to Earth when the man whose syndicate they had destroyed returned for revenge. The money behind the man, however, concealed a deeper, more sinister plot, one that threatened Francesca's life and would challenge Cain to walk the razor's edge between their two worlds while remaining true to the Ethos of Cain. Ethos of Cain is the first novel in The Cain Series by Seth W. James.
