Publisher Description

The Butcher hunts for a secret … but which one?

With the Wrecking Squad seeking refuge on the rundown space station Benetai from the machinations of the Empire, fear of the Butcher sweeps the Emperor's Court. Commanding a vulnerable navy and sceptical officers, Countess Segfi begins the hunt for the human/AI hybrid, risking everything as she attacks Daphene, where he first emerged as a threat.

But the Butcher shows his hand elsewhere, attempting to take Scarva's ship and uncover the secrets of Senti FTL. Desperate, Scarva calls upon Benetai for help, only for Rebekah and her crew to respond as they recognise the AI's hand and dread what he might have stolen, and where he is headed next.

Drawn back into the fight, the Wrecking Squad are forced to hunt for an alien Queen's spawn that may well be the key to Almaar's future.

But the Butcher has other plans, and piece by piece, prepares for a war like no other.

Where The Expanse and Firefly meet, The Queen's Spawn launches the second cycle of The Wrecking Squad series as humanity fights for its future.
