In this fast-paced space military action-adventure, one monster-hunting dark elf begins to question everything he knows-and finds himself surrounded by enemies. He eliminates the monsters that come from the rift. Vex is the third-highest-ranked striker in the Interplanetary Galactic Force, and he's gaining fast on number two. Every victory, and every progression in rank, comes with upgraded weapons technology and magic defenses. But after a decade of loyal servitude to the IGF, he's finding himself at odds with his fellow elves. His shadow fox phenome has begun whispering strange warnings. The monsters he's hunting are no longer mindless beasts: They've somehow grown sentient. And while Vex has always stayed out of politics, he's beginning to suspect corruption even in his own force. Someone is allying themselves with the cyber realm. In this high-octane thrill ride with intricate characters, majestic apocalyptic settings, and death around every corner, Vex's fight for survival hits twist after shocking twist. He might be the only one who can stop a corrupt game world filled with unfathomable enemies. But it's the ones closest to you who do you the most harm. Striker X is the first in The Bold and the Deceptive series followed by Striker Y, and Striker Z. All three will be available by December 2020
