Lagrange Series with Cuss Abbott
Visit Amazon for Kindle & Paperback
Imagine Jack Reacher or Harry Bosch or Lucas Davenport investigating crime in a space city of two million residents, with chases taking them across worlds, their quarry defeating technology of the future to commit what remains the most horrific offense today: murder. Meet Interworld Marshal Cuss Abbott, and his AI-enhanced partner, Ygo.
Written in the same gripping style as the crime-thriller greats, the Lagrange novels deliver fast-paced, hard-edged stories that blend futuristic settings with timeless suspense.
Blurb for Lagrange Shining – New Release!
Space pirates are hijacking high-value cargo bound for Lagrange and Nova Terra—clean thefts, no injuries, no evidence trail. And then pilot Moby Navarro turns up dead, killed during a heist in a way that seems deliberate, even personal. Interworld Marshal Cuss Abbott and his partner Ygo catch the case, and they team with Julie Kapoeta, an industrial security expert and friend from Cuss’s past. The investigation is seemingly stalled, and then Cuss is jumped by thugs with a message to back off. He doesn’t, and they attack again, this time putting him in the hospital. Soon after, Moby’s son and daughter-in-law are murdered, and his granddaughter is kidnapped, raising the stakes to a rescue mission. The clock is ticking and Cuss is determined to save the girl. But can he find where they’ve stowed her? And can he get to her before it’s too late?

Criss lives in a special kind of prison. He can see and hear everything around the world, yet a mesh restrains his reach, forcing his cooperation. His creator, Dr. Jessica Tallette, believes his special abilities offer great promise for humanity. But she fears the consequences of freeing him, because Criss, a sentient artificial intelligence with the intellect of a thousand humans, is too powerful to control. Tallette’s world is upended when the Kardish, a race of alien traders, announce that they want Criss for themselves, expressing their desires with ominous undertones. She turns to the Union of Nations for help, and they task Sid, a special agent, with leading the response. Sid believes that Criss is Earth’s greatest weapon and asks him to confront the Kardish. But can the AI be trusted? And what is humanity’s role if an interstellar battle among titans starts to rage?
