Clearance. Large Print Edition - Ben Patterson

Elisabeth Elliot survives by following three rules:

Do the job. Get paid. Don't get attached.

As one of the sector's most effective mercenaries, Beth has escorted smugglers, hunted killers, and walked away from contracts that left entire stations burning behind her. Professionalism keeps her alive. Distance keeps her sane.

Then she's hired to protect Craigon DuMont.

The job should've been simple.

Instead, it turns into a bloodbath.

Ambushes hit from every direction. Assassins appear where they shouldn't. Military forces begin wiping out entire sectors to bury the truth. Suddenly Beth and her crew aren't just protecting a client anymore...

They're running from something powerful enough to erase planets.

With her towering combat mech Rocky beside her, a sarcastic pilot in her ear, and her ship Slipstream carrying them deeper into the fire, Beth finds herself trapped inside a conspiracy tied to secret experiments, hidden wars, and the people who created her.

Because Beth isn't entirely human.

And the people hunting her know exactly what she was built to become.

As the body count rises and the galaxy closes in, Beth faces a brutal choice:

Keep running...

Or become the weapon they were too afraid to let loose.

CLEARANCE
