The world is burning. His own command has betrayed him. Can Marcus survive long enough to uncover the truth?

Petty Officer Tahir Marcus wanted a routine posting. Instead, he's stranded on Varissi -- a planet consumed by civil war, corruption, and betrayal. When the Alliance command crumbles and insurgents close in, Marcus discovers that the real enemy may be within his own ranks.

Armed with only his instincts, a scarred past, and a secret ability he can barely control, Marcus must navigate gangs, paramilitaries, and double-dealing officers in a desperate bid to survive. Every choice risks exposing him to enemies who want him silenced -- or dead.

The Varissian Affair launches The Marcus Files, a military sci-fi thriller series blending gritty survival, galactic intrigue, and high-stakes betrayal. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet, and John Scalzi's Old Man's War.
