From the Shadows of the Cosmos, an Ancient Evil awakens from its ten-thousand-year slumber, its presence sending ripples through the fabric of time and space. It’s seething with anger and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Now, it sets its sights on annihilating every galaxy with merciless Fury!

Nearly exterminated by an unimaginably powerful enemy, Chase takes the battered survivors of the Star Alliance Fleet along a random escape vector…

…Their destination? A small, uncharted planet called… Earth.
There, they hope to regroup and rebuild their forces.

Little do they know that their fate was decided eons ago, and the ancient enemy is scattering their forces throughout the cosmos to hunt them down and wipe them out… one by one, until the Star Alliance is no more.

Aboard the starship Destiny, insubordinate ace pilot Lt. Chase Athanatos has always felt different—as if a mysterious force pulses through his veins, igniting his soul with the fires of destiny.

That rare, untapped power of old may very well hold the key to the survival of the cosmos.

A cosmic showdown of mythic magnitude looms on the horizon—the most devastating war the universe has ever witnessed. With morale plummeting aboard the Destiny and with Earth’s fate now hanging by a thread, Chase must face his inner demons and rise to the challenge.

But if he cannot conquer himself, how can he ever hope to defeat an evil that has been plotting the universe’s demise for all of eternity?

A notorious outlaw enlists his niece’s assistance in a major heist, and she agrees to help him out — just this once. But when it turns out she’s meant to steal data from the Galactic Fleet, she’s not sure she’ll be allowed to walk away…

—

Secretly, Sloane Tarnish has always admired her outlaw of an uncle and his tales of not-so-legal adventures across the galaxy–but she never thought she’d be asked to help with one of his heists.

When Uncle Vin shows up on her med school campus with a plan to steal a chip full of Fleet intelligence–and the baffling idea to have her play a key role in the scheme–Sloane’s got her doubts. Uncle Vin doesn’t seem to realize that her top skills involve the kind of shots you drink, not the ones you fire.

But Vin’s convinced the Fleet’s got plans to install empirical rule across the free galaxy, and that this data could stop them before they can begin. When a bunch of rogue delivery drones start taking shots at her–and not the liquid kind–she has to figure he’s onto something.

To prove it, all she needs to do is steal the data key from the middle of a Fleet ball… and right out from under the Commander’s nose.

Too bad she’s got absolutely no idea what she’s doing…

Gideon Quinn has a handful of starbucks, a draco named Elvis, and a target on his back.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Colonel Gideon Quinn is serving a life sentence under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens. But after six years of hard labor, a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and the chance to clear his name.

Gideon (not being an idiot), seizes the opportunity and, with his pet draco Elvis, boards an airship bound for Nike City in search of revenge. And justice. But mostly revenge.

What he finds is a daring street-thief in need of a champion, a city steeped in corruption, and a mysterious enemy hell-bent on safeguarding their deadly secrets.

Now Gideon is engaged in an entirely different kind of war—one that plays out in the shadows—and if he loses this battle, Fortune’s new and fragile peace will certainly shatter.

Welcome to the planet Fortune, where tech is low, heroes unlikely, and the odds ridiculous. If you like low-tech science fiction, found families, and feel-good adventures, you’ll love Soldier of Fortune.

This is the second, newly-edited edition of Soldier of Fortune.

Books in the Series:
Soldier of Fortune
Outrageous Fortune
Change of Fortune
Fortune’s Fool
