War hero. Reluctant investigator. Target.
First Sergeant Jill Tower returns from a brutal year in deep space expecting rest, not chaos. Her home is gone, her career derailed, and the city she once knew is drowning in corruption. When the son‑in‑law of a powerful admiral turns up dead and the authorities refuse to touch the case, Jill is pulled into a dangerous new role with one mission: find the killer before the killer finds her.
The trail leads straight into Nakon City’s criminal underbelly — a world of smugglers, political power plays, and the illicit substance known as Cerulean Blue. With a sharp‑tongued AI assistant at her side and enemies closing in from every direction, Jill uncovers a conspiracy decades in the making.
Jill must fight for her life in this electrifying page-turner. In a neo-noir world where the stakes are high and betrayal runs deep, who can Jill trust?
A Taste For Cerulean Blue is the thrilling first instalment in Dale Sale’s Nakon Trilogy, perfect for fans of gritty sci‑fi noir, twist‑driven mysteries, and character‑rich futuristic thrillers.

From TheReading Cafe.com: ‘a character driven, sci-fi thriller of murder and mystery; a noir-type story with less in your face violence and sex; a dark and spirited tale of secrets and lies.’
Tired of flipping burgers for cash, I headed to the Big City (St. Louis) and joined the US Coast Guard. Lovingly known as: Uncle Sam's Confused Group, Puddle Pirates, Coasties, and those jerks that mess up your day on the water.
After loafing there for a little over 30 years as a CWO ship's engineer, my dear old Uncle Sam told me to pack my sea bag and head ashore. Just when I was thinking of making a career of it.
I decided I had been depriving the reading public of my wit and talent long enough and so my first book, Corvus Ascending, was written.
Also, my wife told me to find something to do and stop bothering her.
She would appreciate it if you encouraged me to continue writing. It keeps me out of her hair and random bars.
