When the Dark Corridor appeared, travel between human worlds and the alien planet Segestica became possible. This was a boon for merchants and a target for controlling interests.
But the Corridor is not a random anomaly. Using the promise of lucrative trade as a distraction, Segestica begins a campaign of deception, positioning humans as bait to lure an alien threat, the Thiir, out of Segestican territory.
The humans Makka Starshadow, a mercenary contracted by the Tengu Corporation, and Gettion Solarise, a pirate and
Somaplasty Specialist, are drawn into a conflict involving the mysterious visitor called Niikka.
When Makka and Niikka cross paths, it becomes evident that both are important to the Thiir. They are forced to choose their priorities and navigate a tangled web of alien intrigue and war.
Enemies or allies? Makka, Niikka, and Gettion must decide who they are and if they will fight together for their very existence.
"With a cast of complex and compelling characters, The Identity Matrix delivers both pulse-pounding action and a deep and important message about controlling your own destiny and defining your own identity. A great addition to Rahn's
oeuvre and a must read for SF fans."
-Hayden Trenholm, Award-winning author of The Passion of Ivan Rodriguez.
