Defiance on Vargo

How many must die to keep an ancient secret buried?

Padilla thought that rescuing civilians from a derelict ship was all he and the crew of the Zlotterie would have to do. After all, providing aid and comfort were two of the most important things the Hospitallers did.

No good deed goes unpunished.

An accident in space puts Padilla at odds with an aggressive planetary government. To live, he'll have to defy them. To survive he'll have to outlast everything they throw at him.

The bad news just gets worse.

Now, not only does Padilla have to keep the civilians safe, he has to keep as many of his hospitallers alive as possible. Oh, and if he can keep himself from dying in the process, that would be nice, too.

Defiance on Vargo is the fifth Stories of the Orphan Corps. Like the first four stories, Defiance on Vargo is a stand-alone story. So, if you like a good old dust-up, secrets someone will kill to keep, and heroes worth cheering for, then you're ready for Defiance on Vargo.

You're ready for the adventure. Read it now!
