About this ebook

Low-tech meets high stakes in this rollicking series starter. 

In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, Colonel Gideon Quinn is serving a brutal life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. So when a member of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and the chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn't hesitate and, with his pet draco Elvis, sets out for Nike City in search of revenge.

What he finds is a plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a mysterious enemy dead-set on safeguarding their secrets . . . by any means necessary.

Now Gideon finds himself engaged in an entirely different kind of war; one that, if he loses, will bring Fortune’s new and fragile peace to an explosive end.

If you love little dragons, found families, and unlikely heroes, you'll be right at home on the planet Fortune.

Ratings and reviews

Really, really good!!! Original story, wonderful vibrant characters, and a plot line that doesn't lay out the backstory in the first chapter. It is revealed naturally, as the story develops. I don't want to give anything away, just know that it's definitely worth your time. Make sure you have a couple of hours to commit because it certainly is that good !!

Complex plot. Engaging character development and the tried and true - good wins over evil! Loved every page!!

I would only put this story down when I couldn't keep my eyes open 😴 any longer.
