In Prime Example, veteran bounty hunter Kole Anwynn is ambushed after completing a job. In an effort to defend his reputation and maintain his pride, he gives chase to his assassin. The hunt takes him to a mostly barren world deep on the Galactic Rim, where he will find unexpected allies and a danger he never could have anticipated.

In Viridian Skies, Kole and his new apprentice are settling into their partnership. A string of successful hunts calls for a reprieve, however, and Neela has an idea for the perfect vacation – a planet-wide celebration during a rare celestial event. She even found a local job to help defray expenses. Kole reluctantly agrees and finds himself in a fight for survival.

In Pirate’s Nest, Kole is approached by a Hegemony Intelligence officer with a job he can’t turn down. A pirate menace has been growing on the Rim, and the officer has tasked him with infiltrating the group and taking out their shadowy leader. Kole has experience mingling with the dregs of society as a bounty hunter, but even he isn’t prepared for what awaits.
