Teasers

Part 1: Man Vs. Boy

(published 24 January 2015)

“

Even in the midst of a planetary invasion, secrets must be protected. Or stolen. As the Circinus Federation invades Blantleff, an elite team of mercenary infiltrators moves toward a Marian research facility, intent on stealing the secrets hidden there. Part 1 of 7.

”

Part 2: It's a Job

(published 8 February 2015)

“

The Marian security at the Rostrum site was as competent as it could be, but unarmored infantry sent against battle armor is at more than a disadvantage. When that battle armor is piloted by veteran mercenaries, the disadvantage is even greater.

Part 3: Don't Feed the Animals

(published 15 February 2015)

“

The mercenaries have found what they came for, but they've taken too long. Outside the facility a platoon of Marian tanks has arrived. It will take all of their skill to escape the powerful units sent to stop them.

”

Part 4: Maelstrom

(published 22 February 2015)

“

As Cabot and his team change modes of transportation, a new officer takes over the pursuit. Centurion Bohan had fought the Circinus Federation before, but what had come from the sky in this invasion was nothing like what he'd fought before.

Part 5: Always Check References

(published 1 March 2015)

“

Having made their escape, the small mercenary team lays up, waiting for their Circinan contact to arrive to pull them out. Behind them, their Marian pursuers are closing the gap. Things should be winding down, but for Cabot and his team, trouble is only beginning.

”

Part 6: When One Door Closes

(published 8 March 2015)

“

As the meet disintegrates into violence, Cabot and his team fight desperately to survive and escape. Around them, the elite infantry of the Word of Blake fights back, and it will take an unlikely ally to save them.
