Now the legendary team is getting older. Their demolitions expert is concealing a terminal diagnosis, their sentient android medic is quietly planning to retire, and their leader, Bullseye, is secretly hoping their next fight brings his long-awaited demise. So when a hard-nosed alien general from the jungle world of Oberonn offers an easy job recovering stolen weapon schematics, Bullseye coaxes the old crew back together.

One last mission, just for old times’ sake.

But it’s a setup. Rook is taken by a rogue mentalist wearing a face they buried long ago. Now to bring their friend home, Parliament will have to answer for every lie they ever told him. Old wounds reopen. Loyalties are tested. And amid the gunfire, romance finds unlikely targets.

The trail scatters them across distant worlds, and with a fugitive heiress to an alien throne in tow, they must unravel a conspiracy that spans empires, before its endgame takes the whole galaxy off the board.

To Castle Kingside is an adult space opera of found family, sharp banter, unexpected romance, and explosive action, born from a tabletop campaign the author and his friends created as teenagers. For fans of The Expanse novels and Guardians of the Galaxy.

John W. Grundy is an award-winning science fiction author and Massachusetts native who grew up in a suburb just outside of Boston. During his late teens, his passion for storytelling was ignited when he and his friends created an original sci-fi role-playing game. This early endeavor kindled his fascination with the art of narrative, particularly in the realms of science fiction and fantasy. While his career initially led him to serve as a Boston area paramedic, he eventually transitioned into the world of business, where he and his wife partnered in co-founding a thriving small enterprise. Amidst the demands of his professional life, he never lost sight of his lifelong passion for worldbuilding, and with the release of his debut novel, he eagerly embraces the opportunity to put his storytelling to the test.
