Blood and Water

Chief Engineer Daoff Asul believed that thanks to a sudden fall from grace and exile from the Space Defense Legion he could finally live the simple domestic life he'd always wanted, if only his politically ambitious wife would agree. But his misfortune has only begun: she and their five children are kidnapped, and he won't get them back unless he submits to the Sparnell Confederation.
  Desperate for help and rejected at every turn, Daoff approaches the feared Mordena mercenaries, willing to give anything–everything–if they'll ensure his family's safe return. It's as easy as he expected, as he soon finds himself their captive and facing the full attention of the Mordena's recently deceased founder, the imposing Void Necromancer Shane Lawrence himself.
  Will Daoff be able to navigate his interrogation long enough to win not only his freedom, but that of his family?
