In the vast, gritty expanse of space, where new human settlements sprawl across planets like stars in the night sky, survival often hangs by the thinnest of threads. Enter Gray Grim, one of the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunters and contractors, known for taking on the jobs no one else dares touch. His reputation is built on the shadowy deeds done for the new-age elite, the "suits" who govern the burgeoning cosmos.
Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Star Wars but with the raw, unpolished edge of Galaxy's Edge or Strange Company, this series dives into a universe where Private Military Companies (PMCs) and Guilds dictate the rules of war and security while solo contractors like Gray navigate their own perilous paths.
Gray Grim isn't just a name; it's a legend; even legends have their vulnerabilities. Enter Delilah, a young woman who's left her current planet behind to join him in this space-bound odyssey, her feelings for Gray adding a layer of complexity to his already complicated life. And then there's Scarlet, a fellow contractor from a guild with whom Gray shares a history of both conflict and cooperation.
"Ties in Crime" explores the murky waters of morality, where every action has its cost, and every choice can lead to sacrifice. In this tale, redemption, loyalty, and love are not just luxuries but necessities that might dictate the fate of not just Gray Grim but those he chooses to protect or betray.
Prepare for a journey into the heart of darkness, where the only thing more dangerous than the enemies you can see are the ones you can't. Will Gray Grim's path lead to his redemption or his doom?
They have come for him.
Tycho, whose biological mother was taken by the government to test faster-than-light technology, is chosen as the second participant. Under the promise of infinite wealth, he signs the contract.
Flying across dimensions, he is thrust into the strange worlds which lie beyond ours, and forced into unruly expeditions and adventures. He must face something far larger than anyone or anything, something that even Gods cannot control.
And, in the process, save everyone he loves.
