The Grid Wars: Hunted
Hobbes delivered the evidence. The Regular Companies refused to investigate.
Political pressure from the Hidrion Syndicate—humanity's most powerful trade partners—makes every document "inconclusive." The Regional Authority won't risk the alliance over one contractor's accusations. And with Arden safely hidden on a Khamana world, Hobbes has no leverage to force their hand.
Now he's hunted by both sides. The Syndicate wants their escaped prisoner back. The Companies want the problem to disappear quietly.
But one officer drops a Documents can be dismissed. Bring us living witnesses who can testify.
Hobbes knows what that means. He needs more than Arden. He needs prisoners the system can't ignore or bury. Multiple voices telling the same horrific story.
Which means going back to Nitrao. Breaking into the facility he barely escaped. Extracting prisoners under the Syndicate's nose.
An impossible infiltration. No backup. And every grid in the system marking his ship for death.
The second book in The Grid Wars series is another heart-stopping entry. When the system protects the powerful, you break the rules.

Can humanity really trust aliens? The Hidrion Syndicate has by far become the closest ally of humanity...on purpose.
And Hobbes can attest to that...if he and his companions can survive the massive manhunt for Arden.
The Grid wars: Hunted by author Daniel Young, is an action packed SciFi thriller that starts off with a bang and never let up on the breathtaking action.
Enjoy.

What a ride! This book is action-packed. It’s kind of like Han Solo meets Firefly in a rollicking space opera. The story continues with Hobbes, a smuggler with a heart of gold, who is trying to help Arden, a human who has been experimented on by aliens. He is trying to do the right thing, and get help for Arden, and for humanity, and the process. But can he convince anyone? Note there is some swearing, particularly the D word. I received a free copy of this book, with no obligation.

Good read.
This book was an exciting read . The guys got into a lot of trouble in this one . They trusted who they thought were the law and got told that they needed more evidence to prove there case and when they went in and got the evidence they were betrayed and told that the system has already made up its mind and they had to hand over the poor escaped prisoner , instead they ran for the hills so to speak and it has all been down hill since then.

Short but action packed
Not sure why books 1&2 aren't just 1 book, could easily be
This time round, the news gets out and Hobbs and team are hunted by just about everyone
New partnerships formed and the Companies seem determined to undermine the bad news effecting humanity. I'm guessing there's an underlying story to that

A Good Second Book
Good build up of the characters. An interesting display of ignorance / greed / lack of morals by the Companies / Regulars / Regional Authority. The ethics and morals shown by the crew of the Infiltrater and the outcasts / criminals/ outsiders that side with them are the true heroes

Book Two, if possible is even better than the first. Filled with surprises and action to keep you reading to the very end. Love everything that this author writes.
