On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes unlikely.
Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, until the day a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedomβand a chance to clear his name.
Gideon doesnβt have to think twice. He takes the offer and with his pet draco, Elvis, on his shoulder, boards an airship for the city of Nike in search of revengeβ¦ and justiceβ¦ but mostly revenge.
What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a trio of assassins bent on stopping Gideon from discovering the menace buried at the heart of the Colonial Corps.
Can Gideon survive long enough to uncover the real traitor before they can bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end?

Review
" Soldier of Fortune has a lot to offer between its endearing characters and remarkable world, complete with all the little touches which sell the planet of Fortune as an expansive, immersive setting. There's even a cool slang used throughout; a neat touch that is thankfully easy to pick up and doesn't just act as a barrier to entry. An absolutely stand-out little book and a roaring first showing from debut author Kathleen McClure." Self-Publishing Review
