The Gardener — Deluxe Edition

CSM(R) Daniel R. Auxier, Sr.

$29.99

TWO SISTERS. ONE WAR. One followed duty. One followed something quieter. In the wake of alien contact and corporate war, the Republic remade itself in steel and silence. Two sisters grew up in its shadow—one drawn to command, the other to care. Sara Takamura carved paths through the chain of command and learned to speak in silences the Republic rewarded. Gwen Takamura planted gardens at the edges of forgotten worlds and listened for voices no one else heard.

This deluxe edition includes three prequel chapters exploring the Alarian attack at Tau Ceti, the sisters' divided upbringing, and the first fractures in the Republic's carefully managed silence.
