Soldier of Fortune

Gideon Quinn has a handful of starbucks, a draco named Elvis, and a target on his back.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Colonel Gideon Quinn has endured six grueling years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, and fully expects to die there. But the former soldier's fate twists when a general of the Colonial Corps offers Gideon his   freedom, and a chance to clear his name.

Seizing the opportunity, Gideon and his pet draco, Elvis, take 'ship to 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 mysterious enemy hell-bent on safeguarding their deadly secrets.

Now Gideon finds himself involved in an entirely different kind of war, one that, if he loses, will shatter the planet's new and fragile peace.

Soldier of Fortune, Book 1 of the Gideon Quinn Adventures, is a future steampunk/ecopunk hybrid set on the engineered planet Fortune, where dracos soar alongside airships and dodgers slip through the rain-slicked streets in search of their next mark. If you like low-tech science fiction, found families, and roller-coaster adventure, you'll love Soldier of Fortune.
