Seth Kada, a deep-cover agent working for the Commonwealth, has tracked a group of rebels to the remote Tayako Orbiter. But before he can seize them, the rebels are captured by a powerful rival faction and spirited away.
Seth manages to re-capture one of the rebels, a subspace navigator named Ciela, and soon realizes that her crew's origin and purpose are far more pivotal than anyone could have suspected.
Caught up in a violent clash between rebel factions, Seth and Ciela's divergent loyalties must be put aside to prevent the destruction of a peaceful civilization - and find her people before their ultimate destiny is realized.
Terminus Shift is a complete stand-alone story. Chronologically, it takes place about a year or so after Rebel Alliances and Quantum Tangle.

Review snippets
"These tales are a wonderful exploration of imagination. I actually can envision these on tv as a series a la star trek. Full of believable people and places that I want to know more fully."
"I really liked this book and am looking forward for the next one in the series. I can't wait for more of Seth and Celia. I have read most of Chris Rehers books and would recommend them to anyone"

"Sethran Kada reminds me of the bad boy we all love because he's really not that bad; and when you get to know him, you can't help but smile. Loved the little cameo appearance of Nova Whiteside. Looking forward to reading the sequel."
About Terminus Shift
This is the second story in the Targon Tales series concerning Sethran Kada specifically. He previously appeared with Nova Whiteside in The Catalyst and in Rebel Alliances. Quantum Tangle was his first solo adventure. This is the second.
This story takes place within a clash between the two major rebel factions operating in Trans-Targon: The power- and wealth-hungry Shri-Lan and the more extremist, ideological Arawaj. Seth has some ties and certain sympathies for the Arawaj rebels but, officially anyway, his alliance is to the ruling Commonwealth Union of Planets. Of course, he tends to follow his own nose when it comes to doing what he feel is right.
Circumstances force him to work with Ciela, a high-level navigator working for the Arawaj. Her ideals are a little problematic for him, especially when he realizes that she doesn't belong in any of the strife going on around her. Especially not the Union's military. So once again he's not exactly playing by Air Command's rules, which is where we like him.
Terminus Shift is an all-out action adventure with aliens, spaceships, exotic locations, and things blowing up. But I wanted to take a closer look at what drives the rebels to oppose the expansion of the Commonwealth and how someone inside the factions might view the outside. It also continues Seth's fascination with subspace and what might possibly be lurking among the D-branes.
Special guest appearance by Nova Whiteside.
