The first morning of my posting to Port Zahir didn’t start well.

Even so, Fate decided to take things easy on me for my first day, because it wasn’t until the afternoon that people start trying to kill me. My name is NJ McCall, and this is the story of how Revenge Squad’s least-qualified new recruit stumbled across merciless revolutionaries while being assaulted from every quarter by the craziness that is everyday life in Port Zahir. It’s about what happens when you meet a bona fide war hero, your alien wife develops an obsession with human body parts, and you sip coffee with a Catholic bishop who knows every mercenary in town.

It was supposed to be just another job: trash the cargo of a shipping line that had been messing with a Revenge Squad client. Honestly, I hadn’t meant to blow the ship sky high. And when it transpired that the ship was owned by the most powerful man in Port Zahir, and that he blamed us for the damage he’d suffered, it was Revenge Squad’s turn to face revenge. My name is NJ McCall, and this is the story of how I helped to tear Port Zahir apart, and then tried to stitch it back together… with mixed results.

Along the way, I sing for my life, develop an inappropriate attraction to several civil officials, am recruited by a Legion spy, and get close and personal to a perverted statue. But most of all, it’s about finding a new family amongst the most unexpected people I could imagine: aliens. ‘Second Strike’ is a Revenge Squad novel, the new urban fantasy/ space opera crossover series by Tim C.
