Companions In Chains
The Phoenix Initiative Book 12
Chained by Loyalty
Lieutenant Bree “Ducky” Alcuin returned from her first contract and learned her best friend was missing, along with her entire merc company. When a trio of Flatar showed up and delivered a message—Rebel was alive and a captive of the Science Guild—Ducky decided to do whatever it took to get her back. Including calling in a certain favor token.
Chained by Duty
When Ruin agreed to hunt down a missing merc for the granddaughter of Dama Tamir, he didn’t expect it to be a particularly difficult assignment. How hard could tracking down one Human possibly be? But in order to complete his task, he would have to go places he never anticipated.
Chained by Memory
When an injured cat showed up on her Iskandar ranch, Rebel cared for and sheltered him. Even when the sheriff inexplicably demanded she turn him over, she protected him. But things aren’t always what they seem, and getting on the wrong side of the law was only the beginning of her problems.
Ducky, Ruin, and Rebel are separated by more than stargates, but they are not alone.
And they won’t remain chained for long.
ANTHOLOGIES
The Phoenix Initiative: First Missions
War is Coming!
Nigel Shirazi, the Speaker of the Merc Guild, knows that war is coming and he’s not ready. He needs to build up the mercenary forces after years of war, and he’s proclaimed the Phoenix Initiative to give people who want to start new companies the opportunity to do so. CASPers are cheaper and financed at lower rates, and the government of Earth is offering bounties to take the mercs from alien races off the planet. Now is the time!
Hearing the call to arms, a diverse group of startups, including a number of non-conventional ones and ones that originated on some of the colony worlds, have just taken their first missions. These are some of their stories.
Welcome back to the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates Humans from the majority of the other races. Edited by bestselling authors and universe creators Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, “The Phoenix Initiative: First Missions” includes seventeen all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by a variety of bestselling authors—and some you may not have heard of…yet. Are you ready to strap on a CASPer and go out to make your fortune? Then it’s time to read the stories of these mercs and learn the lessons they’ve already figured out for you!
