Crying Wolf is a gripping sci-fi thriller that blends mystery, suspense, and psychological intrigue into a high-stakes military rescue mission gone awry. This 75,000-word book has comfortable elements of sci-fi on a military ship, where something has gone very wrong. An unusual distress call sends Captain Remy Eskar and his crew on a rescue mission in the asteroid belt for a dying military cargo ship, where a sole survivor clings to life. Upon extraction, the incredible story Major Dillon (Deke) Temkin tells is hard to believe. With the safety and lives of his crew at stake, Eskar is faced with discerning whether Deke is telling the truth or has fabricated this tale to cover the misdoings of a secret mission. Looking at Deke's past brings even more suspicion than resolution. Temkin's special operations background, vague answers, and a veil of sealed historical records add to the mystery in the captain's mind. Who is Deke Temkin, and what is he hiding?
