Goddess: The Shrike Chronicles

Galactic mercenary Samuel Shrike hates complications and loves a good fight. He's managed to survive a long time by avoiding the first and chasing the second, but when space pirates, mob queens, and complex friendships collide in an underworld conflict of colossal proportions, Shrike may receive more of both than he'd bargained for. In the midst of a brutal crime war, the most complicated relationship in his life could lead to his salvation...or a harrowing fight for his life.
