The Special Warfare Operations and Reconnaissance Division is the United Orion Empire’s darkest secret. From its headquarters in a starless corner of space, SWORD trains and deploys wraiths, the most advanced and lethal special operatives in the Empire, to carry out orders too dangerous or too difficult for anyone else.
As the name implies, wraiths are ghosts in the Empire: recruited as children, erased from public records, and rechristened with code names, Agent Hailey Ramirez is Comet, the seventy-fourth wraith ever created. With cranial implants, enhanced body parts, and years of intense training, the girl who was Hailey is no more. Hailey’s Comet now, and Comet’s a super-human.
In Volume 4 of Comet’s story, she is older, wiser, and currently off the roster. A nagging injury prevents her from taking on new missions, so she is saddled with evaluating a newly trained wraith in the field while he completes his mission. But Hailey can’t just sit on the sideline when children are at risk.
The idea of family takes root in her subconscious, and when an unexpected opportunity arises, she schemes and plots to get the one thing she wants most. Based on the universe created by Richard Patton
