Cover for Retribution

Meet the galaxy's unluckiest mercenaries. Lucky Savage was once a powerful Empire Marine. But that was before the Empire collapsed, sinking the outer colonies into chaos and leaving the galaxy on the precipice of disaster. Now his ship, Last Gasp, is home to a ragtag crew of misfits and ex-soldiers just trying to navigate the endless conflicts while hoping to score a big payday. So far, they'd settle for scratching out enough to cover fuel. When a job with Lucky's old employer comes along, it looks like their luck might be turning. But it quickly goes sideways, and they find themselves in the middle of a massive manhunt for a deadly experiment gone wrong. Can the mercs save the day? Who knows. They're just trying to save their own skin. It wouldn't hurt to get paid, either. Retribution is the first book in Lucky's Mercs, an action-packed new series that reads like an unholy union of Starship Troopers and Firefly.

Cover for Rebellion

A dead simple job. What could go wrong? Lucky and crew are looking forward to sleepwalking through a basic contract on a backwater mining world. It reminds Lucky of some of his favorite missions as a Frontier Marine. But from the moment they enter orbit, nothing is as it seems. The job is wrong. Their contact is even more wrong. Soon enough, they find themselves underground, underwater, and most definitely out of their depth. Far from a rebellion in progress, they find a heist underway. And the ultimate prize could reshape human history. Rebellion is the second book in Lucky's Mercs, an action-packed new series that reads like an unholy union of Starship Troopers and Firefly.

Resurgence is the third book in a new series featuring retired Frontier Marine Lucky Savage and the ragtag crew of strays, loners, and misfits he inherited when the Empire went belly up.

Cover for Reloaded

Two assassins. One madman. Feeling Lucky? To get back in the good graces of the Company, Lucky takes a job that looks simple enough: Take an avowed assassin to a drop off location, pick up new crew, and head out a little richer than before. But nothing can be that easy. The drop off point is in the middle of a civil war, his new crew are cold-blooded killers, and the melancholy giant he's transporting has a secret plan of his own. It all adds up to disaster for the crew of The Last Gasp. Not that Lucky—or Rocky—would expect anything else. Reloaded is the fourth book in Lucky's Mercs, an action-packed new series that reads like an unholy union of Starship Troopers and Firefly.
