TheKeikois a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune and adventurers, travelling Earths colony planets searching for the next job. And nobody talks about their past.

Trust will be broken, and blood will be spilled.

Mike Brooks was born in Ipswich, England, and moved to Nottingham, England to study at Nottingham Trent University and never left.

He started to write stories and novels in childhood, has worked for a homelessness charity since 2004 and when not working or writing he goes walking in the Peak District, sings and plays guitar in a punk band, and DJs wherever anyone will tolerate him.

He is married, and has two cats and a snake.
