On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes unlikely.
Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, until the day a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom—and a chance to clear his name.
Gideon doesn’t have to think twice. He takes the offer and with his pet draco, Elvis, on his shoulder, boards an airship for the city of Nike in search of revenge… and justice… but mostly revenge.
What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a trio of assassins bent on stopping Gideon from discovering the menace buried at the heart of the Colonial Corps.
Can Gideon survive long enough to uncover the real traitor before they can bring Fortune’s new and fragile peace to an explosive end?
Soldier of Fortune is the first standalone novel in the science-fantasy series, The Fortune Chronicles. If you like down-at-heels heroes, comic banter, and roller-coaster action, you’ll love this genre-mashing thrill ride to the brave new world of Fortune.
