The galaxy is at war, and the raids of pirates can bring empires crashing down. When Jack March interrupts a raid of the brutal Agotanni Pirates, he soon realizes that the pirates have stolen an ancient superweapon of lethal power. Unless they are stopped, the pirates will auction off the weapon to the highest bidder. And whoever holds the weapon can slaughter billions at a whim...
Standing over six feet tall, USA Today bestselling author Jonathan Moeller has the piercing blue eyes of a Conan of Cimmeria, the bronze-colored hair of a Visigothic warrior-king, and the stern visage of a captain of men, none of which are useful in his career as a computer repairman, alas.
He has written the DEMONSOULED series of sword-and-sorcery novels, and continues to write THE GHOSTS sequence about assassin and spy Caina Amalas, the COMPUTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE series of computer books, and numerous other works. His books have sold over one million copies worldwide.
Captain Jack’s mission this time is to buy some magic mushrooms from the black market. Of course the fungi is very bad and being sold to the highest bidder. Yes, the secret agent posing as a bad guy goes to a glamorous high end auction for villains, awesome! Jack is saddled with some unlikely accomplices and things are never as they seem.
I liked the idea of the Masters criminal haven being a heavily modified colony ship turned mobile space station. Jack having a convo with the Machinist Cognarch equivalent of Censor was chilling. Lots of fun stuff in this one.
Dear Jonathan, I really enjoy reading your Silent Order series and Master Hand was exceptionally well written and full of action. The Jack March character is wonderful and highly moral character and fun to read about his explore which are outstanding. I highly recommend reading this book and series to anyone interested in reading an excellent story. Thanks for an entertaining afternoon.
I first became familiar with Jonathan Moeller with his Frostborn fantasy series from there I read his Ghost series and then devoured his Cloak series. He had never dissapointed me with his other series so I decided to try his science fiction series Silent Order of which this story is the latest addition and he still amazes me with his ability to create excellently entertaining stories with great characters.
I liked this book because of the tight plot line . in addition, it is easy to see that the franchise will continue. The technology described is consistent with other in the si fi genera

The book starts with Jack rescuing another women, who then ends up accompanying Jack on his next mission. The story was enjoyable but I wasn’t really sure about the Superweapon.
Usual stuff from Jack March to put my blood pressure up. But complicated as usual. Lots of.violence but some rotters got their.come uppance. A good read.
