    Mercenary Warfare Series

    About this series

    Not all good guys finish last.

    Cabot Layne has become the owner of someone else's problem. In order to get free of it, he'll need to use every bit of his trader cunning. If he does it just right, he might stay out of prison. With a little luck, he'll even manage to turn a profit.

    He's given up his old ways--mostly--thanks to his cushy life on a PAC space station. But behind his mild-mannered shopkeeper's facade, he's hiding a whole lot more.

    Sometimes you have to break the rules to do the right thing.

    The Cost of Business is a quiet story of cleverness and empathy. For some heroes, wits are much stronger than firepower.

      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. Books in the Dragonfire Station universe in written order: (Each series stands alone and need not be read in written order.)
