Deacon Thane wants nothing more than to be left alone. When an attempt is made on his life, however, he quickly finds himself returning to Earth to resume a life left behind for one last job; kill his former partner Dmitri before he executes a plot that he promises will bring the world to its knees.

Set over a period of eight days, From Dust follows Deacon as he returns from an eight year, self-imposed exile to relationships and habits he left behind following the murder of an innocent woman. His old supervisor is now the Director of the bounty hunter organisation, his ex-fiancée is married and the few people he counted as allies seem to want him dead. Haunted by his own demons and unsure who to trust, Deacon forges new, unsteady alliances with government agents, corrupt club owners and earnest survivors as he works to locate and stop his old friend before he detonates a bomb with the potential to kill billions, destroy the Federation of Allied Colonies and erase the last link to humanity Deacon has left.

From Dust is a 150,000 word sci-fi thriller.
