Description

Low-tech meets high stakes in this rollicking series starter. 

In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, Colonel Gideon Quinn is serving a brutal life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. So when a member of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom, and the chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn't hesitate and, with his pet draco Elvis, sets out for Nike City in search of revenge.

What he finds is a plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a mysterious enemy dead-set on safeguarding their secrets . . . by any means necessary.

Now Gideon finds himself engaged in an entirely different kind of war; one that, if he loses, will bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end.

If you love little dragons, found families, and unlikely heroes, you'll be right at home on the planet Fortune.
