Summary
With stakes this high, humanity doesn't need a hero. They need someone who can win.
Willem Jaantzen didn't ask to be a hero. He just wants to keep his family safe in the shifting sands of Bulari's underground - and to get the city's upper crust to acknowledge just how far he's come since his days as an orphaned street kid. With his businesses thriving and his dark past swept into the annals of history, it looks like he has everything he could ever ask for. Until, that is, his oldest rival turns up murdered and the blame - and champagne - begins to flow.
It turns out Thala Coeur died as she lived: sowing chaos. And when a mysterious package bearing her call sign shows up on Jaantzen’s doorstep, he and his family are quickly swallowed up in a web of lies, betrayals, and interplanetary politics. It’ll only take one stray spark to start another civil war in the underworld, and Jaantzen’s going to have to pull out every play from his notorious past if he wants to keep his city from going up in flames.
Jaantzen never wanted to be a hero, but that might just be a good thing. Because a hero could never stop the trouble that's heading humanity's way.
Double Edged is the first book of the Bulari Saga, a five-book series featuring gunfights, dinner parties, explosions, motorcycle chases, underworld intrigue, and a fiercely plucky found family who have each other's backs at every step. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and The Godfather. Download Double Edged, and start the adventure today.

" The Gift of the Fallen."
The opening chapter of this book is great, throwing the reader straight into a heist that goes wrong: it's pacy, dating and futuristic and introduces Willem Jaantzen the lead character. Really promising, colourful and offering great prospects for the book. There is also, coming up, a psychotic mayor, fanatical religious leaders, crime leaders and their followers, still living dead men, a newly developed orchid, a deaf girl (I think) with whom they all converse with text or gestures, a greenhouse, a suitcase, and something else which looks like a pea nestled in manure. Lots of guns and knives, too, with mostly murderous or desperate charactets and a really brilliant motor bike chase.
Good ending.
Good performance by J.S.Aquin.
But:
I really couldn't get into this book.
