Last Call From Sector 9G

In a sprawling, neon‑lit metropolis that stretches across the Milky Way, the gritty underworld of the Galactic Center pulses with danger and desperation. Durham, a hard‑boiled ex‑officer nursing a bottle and a broken servall, wakes to an unexpected knock that drags him back into a life he tried to leave behind. The city’s endless sprawl and the ominous presence of the Bitter Star loom over every crooked alley and smoky bar.

Two enigmatic figures, Paulsen and Burke, appear at his door, their motives tangled with old debts and a name—Hawtree—that hints at a hidden agenda. They demand something impossible: a sober Durham, ready to face a task that could pull him from the shadows of his past. As the night unfolds, the reader is pulled into a tense, noir‑styled chase through a galaxy where loyalty is scarce and the line between friend and foe is as blurred as the city’s endless lights.
