Fool's Gold: A Mercenary Warfare Short Story: Mercenary Warfare

By Zen DiPietro

Nagali Freeborn is as intelligent as she is ruthless. Add in her fearlessness, and she's a recipe for trouble.

Her brother Omar doesn't expect too much out of life. A warm bed and not getting knifed is usually plenty.

When Nagali's business deal goes sideways, they'll have to work together to save both their skins.

All in all, the Freeborn siblings are a darn good team, even when he wants to launch her out an airlock. 

If anyone can pull off a good con, it's them. 

Fool's Gold is a short story in the Mercenary Warfare series, a spinoff series of Dragonfire Station. New readers can meet these lovably criminal characters and get a peek at the Planetary Alliance Cooperative for the first time, while existing readers can enjoy a little side adventure.

Because trading is all about a good adventure.
