Description

It’s just a garrison job. What could go wrong? Xander Cain is one of the most infamous mercenaries in known space. Kicked out of his family’s company, he’s now a freelancer, the bottom rung of the mercenary ladder. All he has to his name is a few credits, his guild licence, and a battle-ready mech. Forced to take the jobs no one wants, Xander heads to the planet Hades to act as a garrison. It’s low paying, but low risk. A nice easy payday. Of course, things are never so simple in the Iron Belt. Xander finds himself under attack, forced to work with a rag-tag team of other mercenaries as they escort precious cargo through a warzone. Xander stumbles onto a conspiracy that threatens to plunge the Iron Belt into all-out war, battling sinister forces working under the flag of a black rose. His mission now is simple. Get to the space elevator and get off the planet. There’s just the small matter of the army of mechs in his way. Four mechs, a truck full of secrets, and a whole field of targets. An easy payday, indeed.
