About

Victoria Buckner was never supposed to survive the first solar war.
She survived anyway.

Medically crippled, cybernetically rebuilt, and forged into the most dangerous pilot humanity has ever produced, Vicki thought the worst was behind her. She was wrong.

As political power fractures on Earth and old alliances rot from within, a sitting American president makes a fatal mistake—he turns the machinery of the state against its most effective weapon. Now hunted by assassins, betrayed by institutions she once served, and blocked from the very space she helped secure, Vicki becomes the target of a global power struggle that reaches from Earth orbit to the heart of the asteroid belt.

While China maneuvers, Space Force fractures, and governments gamble the future for political survival, Vicki must rely on a fragile alliance of family, renegades, and fellow “cripples” to stay alive—and stay ahead.

But survival is no longer enough.

Because if the wrong people control space, Earth won’t just lose a war.
It will lose the future.

Cripple Disciple is a hard-hitting, character-driven military science fiction thriller packed with orbital combat, political betrayal, assassination attempts, and the unbreakable will of a woman who refuses to be erased.
