Descent: Hillar File 4991.09 (The Tide of the Stars)

'What did you leave behind, Captain?''Bad memories and a fucking mess...'
4991 TCE: 09: 21Life is full of choices.
Eric Hillar's choices have led to the United Trade Confederate branding him their first terrorist in over 2000 revolutions. On the run, he finds himself in the sector of space known as The Rim. It is not just the slaver press gangs that notice his arrival.

Pirate Captain Hawke has a target she needs crew for, and she doesn't take no for an answer. If Eric plays his cards right, he might keep his freedom, his life and earn enough credits to finally disappear.
Or she might give him the chance to make a choice that matters...

Descent is the first book from R.A. Howes' Tide of the Stars universe. An intergalactic cyberpunk style universe where the dominant powers are worse than those they brand as criminals. Based in the sector of space known as The Rim, Descent follows Eric Hillar, a man with a price on his head and no one to turn too. Recruited into a space pirate crew, Eric needs to decide if he will keep running, or if he will stop long enough to find a place to belong, even if it is amongst killers.
