Summary

Thief, spy, assassin, Intergalactic Police investigator... Jaime keeps the peace however necessary, ensuring civilisation-ending discoveries stay secret… as a random example. One in no way tied to the rush job the IGP just assigned her. 
  
IGP want Jamie to infiltrate Aphelion—the self-contained, AI-run, politically neutral space station—and locate an item which sounds awfully like a surrofish egg, a tool of mass destruction that supposedly died out centuries ago. 
  
But plenty of other species lay space eggs. Okay, maybe not plenty, but lots. 
A handful. 
At least a few.   
  
This job? Definitely not suspicious—or likely to shatter the stability of the entire galaxy forever… Probably… 
  
A sparkling, action-packed short novella for readers who love their heists flavoured with technology and sass.

    Wizard's First Rule

    Wizard’s First Rule, the first novel by Terry Goodkind, was a phenomenon from the moment it was published by Tor Books in 1994, selling more than 100,000 copies in North America alone. It still sells more than 100,000 copies a year and has gone on to bestsellerdom in the United Kingdom and in more than twenty foreign translations as well as audiobook form. 
It is now being developed as one of the most ambitious television miniseries of all time. Executive Producer Sam Raimi (director of the three Spider-Man movies), in collaboration with Disney/ABC, is creating a 22-episode adaptation of the book to be filmed in New Zealand. 
Richard and Kahlan’s story unfolds over ten more novels, collectively known as the Sword of Truth series, concluding with Confessor in 2007. Placing Goodkind in the elite club of #1 New York Times bestselling authors, the series has sold more than twenty million copies to date worldwide. 
In Wizard’s First Rule, Goodkind introduced the world to an ordinary forest guide, Richard Cypher, and the mysterious, powerful woman he comes to love, Kahlan Amnell. Learning his true identity, Richard accepts his destiny as the one man who can stop the bloodthirsty tyrant Darken Rahl. Hunted relentlessly, betrayed and alone, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword and invoke something more noble within himself as the final confrontation with Darken Rahl looms. 
The importance of Wizard’s First Rule is sourced in Goodkind taking on the toughest of all literary challenges: to tell an electrifying story of action, violence, and adventure that also makes people think, and that would influence the choices and actions of its readers.
