Two adventures. One world. Zero margin for error.
Step onto the rugged colony world of Fortune, where low-tech science fiction meets high-stakes adventure in this gripping starter set featuring two full-length, interconnected novels.

Soldier of Fortune

Wrongly convicted of treason, ex-Colonel Gideon Quinn is freed under suspicious terms and sent to Nike City with nothing but a handful of credits, his draco companion Elvis, and a target on his back.

Bent on clearing his name, Gideon has no time for attachments—until a reckless street thief crashes into his life and makes indifference impossible. He'll need her help, too, because the one who framed him isn't finished yet... and the war may not be over after all.

Outrageous Fortune

Captain John Pitte has lived under the weight of the same betrayal that ruined Gideon. Stripped of rank and purpose, his only mission now is to keep his crew and their battered airship aloft.

When a high-paying job promises salvation, John takes the risk—and flies straight into a storm of corruption, madness, and a deadly deception. With the woman he can't bring himself to lose at his side, John must fight to protect the only thing he has left: his people.

Found families. Flying ships. Unlikely heroes.
If you loved Firefly, The Mandalorian, or The Expanse, welcome to Fortune.

This duology includes the first two books of the retro-future science fantasy series, The Fortune Chronicles.
