Neodymium Betrayal

A soldier haunted by his past is confronted by betrayal in this gripping space opera adventure. On a normal day of mace-wielding duels and interplanetary sabotage, young Jei Bereens has things under control. He's plagued by night terrors and an archenemy as slippery as the grime on his gun, but freedom fighters all around the galaxy look to him for help. He's got the favor of a mystical energy being and a best friend who'd die for him. On a normal day, Jei is legend. Today is not a normal day. Today, Jei broke an enemy soldier's mask and found his best friend inside. Tomorrow, that best friend will sell Jei out in the name of saving the universe. And the next day, Jei will disobey orders and break promises to take her down . . . While it is part of a series, Betrayal can stand on its own without the first book (Neodymium Exodus).  Praise for Neodymium Exodus "Finelli's worldbuilding is seamless, putting faith in the reader's ability to keep up with the fast-paced romp through a wild galaxy. . . . Space opera fans should snap this up." —Publishers Weekly
