The Seeds of Dissolution (The Dissolution Cycle)

One majus hunts for who would betray the covert (and perhaps illegal) organization known as The Society of Two Houses. Mandamon Feldo is scheduled to meet a high-profile diplomat to present his newest invention, but instead finds the diplomat dead in a pool of blood on the floor of his office. Even worse, the diplomat had been holding a list of members in The Society of Two Houses, a secret organization existing inside the maji. An organization to which Mandamon belongs. If the list gets out the Society, which brings innovation and new technology to the Nether, may crumble under the weight of the secrets it holds. Often the ends are seen to justify the means when developing new ideas, and the Society has done its share of cleaning up ‘accidents.’ Before the murderer releases the information, Mandamon must figure out who would kill the diplomat and betray The Society of Two Houses. If you like Sherlock Holmes-style murder mysteries, Fast-paced action, and clever characters, you’ll love this stand-alone mystery in William C. Tracy's Dissolutionverse.

Science Fiction

Review\nOne of our Spaceships is Missing is a great sci-fi adventure, particularly for those interested in a future that isn't aliens and space wars, but rather a human story with human stakes that make the story more relatable, even in this hyper-futuristic reality. 
Windy City Reviews\n"One of Our Spaceships is Missing" is an easy-to-read sci-fi story of a hijacked space cruise ship, with four main narrators bringing light to the situation of pirates, hostages, investigators, and the military rescue efforts. ... I was drawn to the story because it combined so many of my favorite elements: police procedural, suspense, space pirates, and queer characters galore. 
Liminal Fiction\nIn the 23rd century, spaceships just don’t go missing. 
FBI agent Ray Volk is assigned to a task force to investigate a tragic accident: the disappearance of interplanetary passenger liner ValuTrip Cardinal, carrying 500 souls between Mars and Earth on a routine run. What looks like a cut-and-dried case of pressure loss is complicated by the arrival of a Martian Captain. A very cute Martian Captain who keeps sticking his nose in Ray’s investigation. 
Martian exchange student Kelly Rack knows the disappearance is no accident. She survived the ships’ hijacking, but learns the former cruise entertainer leading the pirates has plans for the passengers, and they don’t include sightseeing. Kelly has avoided the murderous pirates, except now an off-duty Earth Commander insists on organizing resistance for the passengers. She forces Kelly to climb through service tunnels on sabotage runs, risking capture and death. 
Can Ray shake down the right accomplices to capture the good ship ValuTrip Cardinal before its new captain spaces everyone on board? Will Kelly discover the pirates’ hidden plans for their prisoners? The race is on, because One of Our Spaceships is Missing!\nGenres: Space Opera / Military Sci-Fi / Science Fiction / LGBT and Non Binary\nMarket: Adult
