About this series
How many must die to keep an ancient secret buried?
Padilla thought that rescuing civilians from a derelict ship was all he and the crew of the Zlotterie would have to do. After all, providing aid and comfort were two of the most important things the Hospitallers did.
No good deed goes unpunished.
An accident in space puts Padilla at odds with an aggressive planetary government. To live, he'll have to defy them. To survive he'll have to outlast everything they throw at him.
The bad news just gets worse.
Now, not only does Padilla have to keep the civilians safe, he has to keep as many of his hospitallers alive as possible. Oh, and if he can keep himself from dying in the process, that would be nice, too.
Defiance on Vargo is the fifth Stories of the Orphan Corps. Like the first four stories, Defiance on Vargo is a stand-alone story. So, if you like a good old dust-up, secrets someone will kill to keep, and heroes worth cheering for, then you're ready for Defiance on Vargo.
You're ready for the adventure. Read it now!

He and the Wutenigel he's named Thumb have come with Ascalon company to Oulu as a supernumerary. Thumb can identify and name every scent it encounters. With Pagnotto and Thumb as part of Ascalon company, the Hospitallers hope to find the source of recent terrorist-style bombings. An attack on a Texarkanian community pulls the Hospitallers deeper into the global conflict. Uncovering secrets puts the entire company at risk of total annihilation.

Aid and comfort was the mission. Now, it's all about survival. Arda was supposed to be a vacation in terms of missions. But when Capt Morris learns the Garnier will be out of system for five days, she loses that vacation feeling. Morris wouldn't normally pack rapid response vehicles, shoulder rockets, and a cargo hold full of ammo to rebuild a town on a peaceful planet. But the mission no longer feels normal. Aid and comfort turn to defense as the Hospitallers are attacked again and again by unknown forces. When one of them is captured, Morris learns her paranoid packing wasn't enough. Counter Offensive on Arda is the fourth book in the Stories of the Orphan Corps series. It is a stand-alone story like Rescue on Gimhae and the other Stories of the Orphan Corps.
