description: The galaxy is mired in a cold war between two superpowers the Illyrican Empire and the Commonwealth. Thrust between this struggle are Simon Kovalic the Commonwealths preeminent spy and Kyle Rankin a lowly soldier happily scrubbing toilets on Sabea a remote and isolated planet. However nothing is as it seems.Kyle Rankin is a lie. His real name is Eli Brody and he fled his home world of Caledonia years ago. Simon Kovalic knows Caledonia is a lit fuse hurtling towards detonation. The past Brody so desperately tried to abandon can grant him access to people and places that are off limits even to a professional spy like Kovalic.Kovalic needs Eli Brody to come home and face his past. With Brody suddenly cast in a play he never auditioned for he and Kovalic will quickly realize its everything they dont know that will tip the scales of galactic peace. Sounds like a desperate plan sure but what gambit isnt?The Caledonian Gambit is a throwback to the classic sci-fi adventures of spies and off-world politics but filled to the brim with modern sensibilities.
