FIRST STRIKE by Odette C. Bell

Laksha wakes up on a Coalition Academy training ship—as a low-ranking recruit. She knows something has gone terribly wrong. For the past five years, she’s worked as a Barbarian spy, infiltrating the Coalition from within. Her goal was simple: bring down the power that has ruled the Milky Way for far too long.

But someone beats her to the punch.

Dale Simpson is no ordinary spy. He’s part man, part machine—a cutting-edge cybernetic built for war and stealth. Once a top pilot, he now uses his abilities to hack into tech and smash through resistance. After surviving a near-fatal accident, he became the Coalition’s most advanced weapon.

For years, Dale has hunted a dangerous Barbarian psychic known only as First Strike. And now, he finds her hiding in the heart of the Academy. But when a critical error corrupts his mission, he accidentally launches her mind into another body.

What follows is a high-stakes chase across minds and identities. Laksha gains the terrifying ability to jump into others. Simpson must stop her before she unleashes chaos.

But the lines blur fast. The more they collide, the more he questions his mission. And no matter how much machine is in him, Dale learns one hard truth—his heart still works.
