The Handler's Gambit: Saxen Saga Book One
Play the game. 
Murder the innocent. 
Don't let them see you sweat.


In the wrong hands, trust becomes a weapon.

Commander Boone wears a perfect mask inside a ruthless warlord's fleet: model officer, elite strategist, reliable on any mission. But Boone isn't loyal — he's sabotaging the warlord from the inside, hiding a secret that can save thousands of lives... if it doesn't get him executed first.

His exit strategy hinges on the warlord's most volatile asset: an assassin with elemental powers and an agenda of her own. She's the key to his escape–and the biggest risk in his plan.

As suspicion tightens and the warlord's hunt closes in on an innocent rival, Boone has one move left: a gambit that sacrifices safety for freedom with a razor-thin chance at survival.

The Handler's Gambit is an award-winning, character-driven space opera packed with action, twists, and biological "magic."

About the Author

Ingrid Moon is an author, educator, and scientist, among other things. Early indoctrination into science and speculative fiction led her to pursue science and technology as a career. She loves all manner of pop culture and is fully prepared, like all Gen-Xers, to survive a nuclear or zombie apocalypse (or both). A Southern California native who can’t surf, she enjoys hiking, mountaineering, and long stints alone in the wilderness where she hopes to meet an elf or find a magic portal to another world. She currently lives with her family and many animals at some undisclosed location on Mars.
