The Traitors' Trial
About this ebook
The Anti-Sedition Ministry arrests Grady’s parents on charges of treason, and it looks like they could spend the rest of their lives in jail. To save them, they hire lawyer extraordinaire Janek Moreno, who then hires Rance and team to help with the case.
But on the first day of the trial, Rance meets someone he never thought he’d see again, and it threatens to derail their efforts. Can Rance overcome the greatest obstacle to his future to save the presumedly innocent?
Drs. Sugiyama and O’Grady-Davies are not willing partners in their own defense. There has to be a reason, yet the well renown spaceship designers only wish their son to get on with his life and forget about them. No matter what they try, their investigation isn’t taking off as expected. If only they had a lead…
Enter—the woman in yellow.
Cecelia Nilsson-Lim, CEO of the second largest arms supplier to the Empire, and purported friend and business partner to Grady’s parents. She takes the stand—for the prosecution—and reveals secrets about her relationship to them that unleash an entirely new controversy.
That’s all Rance and team need to set their investigation into motion. But what they find out brings into question everything they’ve been hoping to prove. Can Rance overcome his biggest disappointment? And can Grady maintain his sanity long enough to get his house clean?

About the author
Marc B. DeGeorge has made every attempt in his adult life to maintain a balance between how much science and how much art he dabbles in. Sometimes, he’s even successful. When he was young, he wanted to be an astronaut, and then an aeronautical engineer—he even went to Space Camp! But then he learned how to play guitar and his space dreams took a back seat. He spent a decade playing professionally in bands and studying music in college (university only took five years). These days, things have come round full circle, and Marc envisions the future by writing books that imagine what challenges humanity may face, and what we might accomplish together.
When Marc isn’t writing, he performs traditional Japanese music on shamisen and writes, shoots and edits performing arts photos and video—check out some of his work here: https://www.musemarc.com
