The Bold and the Deceptive Striker Y, Book 2, (Paperback)

I used to hunt monsters, back when life was simple.

In the explosive sequel to Striker X, the galaxy has shifted beneath Vex's feet. Sentient beasts still pour out of the rift, threatening elves and dwarves alike, but they are no longer the greatest threat. Acting against the corrupt politician Morange has upended Vex's entire life. He has had to flee the Interplanetary Galactic Force-and be taken in by his old enemies, the paramilitary Red Rogue Alliance.

The Alliance, hell-bent on freeing the galaxies from the IGF, wants to train Vex to be their figurehead and assassin. But if he takes on their mission, it will mean assuming a new identity, surviving brutal training, and diving undercover deeper than ever into the cesspool of the IGF. From a hostile orc world to a brutal prison planet, from shocking enemies to unexpected allies, nothing is what it seems. And, as the cyber realm and the real world continue to merge, every player has their own game.

The success of the entire revolution rests on Vex's shoulders. He has no choice but to fight on.
