The second of three B.E.N.T. universe novels in 2026 is out! Don’t miss out on the hard lessons Billy Pointer has to learn to stay true to his ideals. It’s all or nothing!

It’s all or nothing.

Billy Pointer is but one of the trainees sent to Camp Peary, a CIA facility known as “The Farm,” to participate in a new initiative aimed at responding to potential BENT threats internationally. As he learns the art of espionage, he struggles to reconcile his morals and ethics against the nature of the career he has chosen.

Things only get more complicated when he is injured on his first assignment, revealing that he has a Bend of his own. Now, the major powers in the BENT world are interested in using his newfound ability to aid them in realizing their own purposes and goals.

Everyone wants him on their side. Everyone has a point to make. Nobody is willing to work with anyone who is not on their side. Billy’s loyalties to his country, friends, employer, and what he thinks is right are tested. It doesn’t help at all that, in his naivety, he wants to believe everyone at face value — that everyone wants to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, reality has a way of making itself known.

As Billy learns some hard lessons, he realizes that he has some equally hard choices to make.
