Nick Walker, U.F. Marshal series by John Bowers (#4,8,10-11)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: John Bowers discovered his love for writing in 7th grade and started his first novel at age 13. By the time he graduated high school he had written six complete novels, sending his English teachers (all four of them) into paroxysms of delight. The pastor of his church was not so easily amused, however, and Bowers was encouraged to give up the creation of "manmade daydreams" and seek the Kingdom of God instead. He continued writing through his twenties, turning out several more books and a number of screenplays, but around age 30 finally surrendered to "God's will" and gave up writing altogether.
Genre: Science Fiction
4. Victoria Cross: United Federation Attorney
Victoria Cross had her chance with Nick Walker…and blew it.
They were in the Star Marines together, fell in love in boot camp…then she broke his heart. Now, ten years later, they are both on Alpha Centauri 2, Nick as a U.F. Marshal, Victoria as a U.F. Attorney. They haven’t spoken in nine years and Nick doesn’t even know she is on the same planet, but sooner or later they are bound to meet. Victoria dreads that meeting, because Nick wants nothing to do with her. He has a new love now, Suzanne Norgaard, and has put Victoria in his rear-view. Seeing him again will only stir up the old pain that she has tried to put behind her.
The problem arises when Antiochus Groening, the cult leader who started the revolution, comes to trial for attempted murder. Nick arrested Groening and will have to testify…and Victoria will have to face him.
Unless…
She can hand the case off to a colleague. Brian Godney is a bright young U.F. Attorney striving to make his mark and will be happy to take the case. But avoiding Nick will not be easy, since the U.F. Marshal’s office is headquartered in the same building as the U.F. Attorney.
But Vic can’t dwell on it. She is handed another case with an even higher profile than Groening’s. An ex-con is charged with the murder of an ACBI agent, and the pressure to obtain a conviction is intense. If anybody can put this guy away, it’s Victoria Cross…but there is one problem: The evidence doesn’t match the charges. Victoria fears she is prosecuting an innocent man. Which leaves her with one inescapable question: Which is more important? Winning? Or justice?
8. Assassin on Centauri B
As a U.F. Marshal, Nick Walker has tracked down bad guys all over the Final Frontier. He has taken down killers, corrupt corporations, slave traders, mercenaries, terrorists, and criminal religious cults. But when two government agents drag Nick off to a secret meeting with a clandestine politician, it can’t be good.
And it isn’t.
A Federation Ambassador has been assassinated. Beta Centauri is about to ally with Sirius, which has turned rogue and now threatens other star systems. Federation President Vivian White Wolf is scheduled for a diplomatic summit in three weeks, but Beta C is controlled by the Rukranian mob and her mission may be compromised. The Federation needs an undercover man—a gunslinger—to turn things around.
Nick, who has never worked undercover, has three weeks to get the job done. And there are no rules.
Not only Nick’s life hangs in the balance, but so does the future of three star systems. If he gets caught, the Federation can’t afford the diplomatic fallout—he is on his own—and even if he survives the mission, an assassin is waiting for him at home.
This is Nick as you’ve never seen him, working alone on a hostile planet where a single error can mean violent, agonizing death. The Rukranian mob is ruthless and unforgiving; can Nick break their stranglehold on the BC government and give diplomacy a chance? Don’t miss the bullets, the bombs, the hair-raising intrigue, the violence and betrayal as Nick Walker embarks on his most dangerous mission yet.
10. Return to Sirius
Four months after returning from Centauri B in what was his most dangerous assignment ever, United Federation Marshal Nick Walker now faces an even greater challenge. In fact, he is now in the deepest trouble of his life.
When four starships go missing without a trace, the Federation calls on Nick to investigate the disappearances. After a brief study of the available data, Nick learns that one passenger—a mole—was on board all the missing ships, which suggests the ships may have been attacked by pirates, or someone posing as pirates. Nick is aware that slavery and human trafficking are rife in the Sirian system, and suspects that Sirius is at the heart of the mystery.
When the same mole books passage on a fifth starship, so does Nick. If he can identify who is behind the disappearances, he might be able to gain enough information for the Federation to take them down; failing that, perhaps he can at least protect the passengers on the fifth ship.
It’s a dangerous assignment with little chance of success, but someone has to try. The biggest risk to Nick is the fact that he is a wanted man on Sirius. For six years the Sirian KK has been hoping to capture him and punish him for his actions in Sirian Summer; if he ever falls into their hands, he is almost certainly looking at torture and execution, but if he doesn’t take the risk, thousands of innocent people may be killed or enslaved.
Return to Sirius will be Nick’s deadliest mission yet as his life comes full circle and he slams head-on into the most brutal regime in the galaxy.
11. Victoria Cross: Colonial Defense Attorney
Still tender from his horsewhipping while a prisoner on Sirius, Nick Walker is back on the job. But he’s on light duty, which doesn’t leave him much to do, so he finds himself helping his fiancée, defense attorney Victoria Cross, defend a pair of bank robbers who said they robbed a bank in…self-defense!
Victoria Cross, once a Federation prosecutor and now a Colonial defense attorney, is nothing if not passionate about her work. Although she and Nick work opposite ends of the law (he arrests ‘em and she defends ‘em), this time, they are on the same page. Matthew and Allison Saulsbury robbed the bank because they owed a loan shark who promised to kill them if they didn’t pay.
Problem is, the loan shark, himself a former Star Marine, is determined to keep the defendants from testifying. His own criminal enterprise is at stake and he will stop at nothing, from kidnapping to murder, to prevent the Saulsburys from exposing him.
Bank robbery. Kidnapping. Arson. Witness intimidation. Murder…and lots of gunfire. Don’t miss the explosive action as Nick Walker works both sides of the legal street…and Victoria Cross throws down against one of the most dangerous men she has ever faced.
