Summary
One night. One city. Two edge-of-your seat adventures… SOLDIER OF FORTUNE Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens. When a general of the Corps arrives with an offer of freedom and the chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn’t have to think twice. With his pet draco Elvis on his shoulder, Gideon takes 'ship for Nike City on a quest for justice (or, failing that, revenge). What he finds is a dodger named Mia, a city steeped in corruption, and a menace at the heart of the Corps which could bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end. And that’s just his first night in town. OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE One year after the war with the Coalition States has ended, the crew of the Errant aren't just scraping the bottom of the barrel, they're scraping the shavings off the deck under the bottom of the barrel. Between crippling tariffs, bad weather, and pirates, Captain John Pitte stands to lose his airship, his crew and what little self-respect he’s regained since his court martial, six years past. So when a mysterious woman offers salvation—or, at least a paying job—John signs on, only to discover neither the job, nor the woman, are what they appear. Soon John and his crew find themselves on the run and embroiled in hive of deception, with everything he hoped to save teetering on the brink of disaster. Welcome to the planet Fortune, where tech is low, airships and dracos crowd the skies, and everyone is out for their piece of the honeycomb.
