Counterweight (The Black Ships Book 4)

Book Four in the Black Ships Series
Fifteen decades after his execution, Callum McKinnon is still paying his debt to Humanity.
Though officially dead, his true punishment is a life of permanent exile posing as a Tauhentan ex-patriot on enemy worlds. In a post-plague universe, his lifespan is now dramatically longer, but he will never again be allowed to set foot on Earth. He travels among the worlds of the Dactari fringe, stirring up unrest to draw troops away from the Alliance frontier.
When he comes face to face with another of history€s relics, he decides to start writing his own orders and the results have a far greater impact than anyone could have expected.
The way forward is far from certain and it hinges on the relationship between Callum and his new friend. They will have to gamble everything if they want to tie their lost threads back into the fabric of fate.
