As you journey through the Known Arc within the pages of LONGSTAR, be sure to keep a keen eye, because there are a few little surprises especially for those readers…
Jan January, bound in servitude to the Olid Ring Guild, finds himself aboard a freighter shuttling obscure cargos to remote worlds.

The GRONE audiobook is out! Our narrators are Jennifer Jill Araya and Nikola Hamilton, and their amazing voice talents are on high display with their performances.
