Soldier of Fortune: A Gideon Quinn Adventure (The Fortune Chronicles) (Volume 1)

On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes… unlikely, and none more unlikely than thief-turned-soldier, Gideon Quinn. Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, so when a general of the Colonial 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 the city of Nike, looking for justice. 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. Soldier of Fortune is first of The Fortune Chronicles, a genre-bending science fiction/fantasy series that blends elements of the Old West, Steampunk and Paranormal Fantasy, and set in the distant future on the engineered planet Fortune.
