Jason Bourne meets Mr. Robot on a space station. Biotech Wars Series: Project Destiny Project Exodus Project Ascent This series has a spinoff series coming June 2018 - check out STAR FORGED. "One of the things that Justin excels at is writing his characters so well that they shine clearly through the (deliberate) murky situation on this space station. I find I’m not rooting for one side or the other, and I don’t feel any need to because I’m rooting for the characters. I’m about three-quarters of the way through the first book and I still have no idea how it will end. Recommended." -- Author Tim C. Taylor
