Out in the contested zone between Keerah and Ralnor space, there's a planet. On this planet is someone who needs rescuing.



Thousands of light years from the nearest Imperium planet, it shouldn't be their concern. So why is it? And why does someone in the Imperium even know about this?



Jodie Mills is the go-to marine colonel when you want something done, and the Peck twins are busy. But Jodie has a secret which has now caught up with her.



Someone has to go, and who better than her? But how to motivate her into joining would seem to be the problem.



She needs a team. Or is it the team needs her? They also need a pilot and a mage.



But what kind of group would even contemplate such a mission, so far from anywhere?



Soldiers of Fortune.
