Publisher's Summary

Cam is a Marine, not a spy. 

That’s what he keeps trying to tell Fleet Intelligence. But when he and Vicky signed back up, they agreed to follow orders. And their orders are to keep working for the Corporate Security Force, and find out what the private paramilitary force knows about Zan-Thint, and his plans to use Predecessor technology against the Commonwealth. 

The trouble is, the CSF doesn’t seem to care about Zan-Thint anymore. They send Cam and Vicky, and a crew of mercenary Drop Troopers, to an isolated mining world called Portent. Their job? To put down a rebellion by wildcat miners who don’t want the Corporate Council stealing the fruits of their labor. Somehow, they’ve been able to hire the baddest mercenaries in the Commonwealth, to hold onto their planet. 

Stuck leading a crew of cutthroat mercenaries - who want nothing more than to slaughter the wildcat miners, and take their rhenium ore - facing down an even more cutthroat band of mercenaries who’ll kill anyone they consider a threat, Cam and Vicky try to negotiate a course between the two, and figure out who’s actually paying the mercenaries, and why the Corporate Council is really interested in a backwoods rhenium mine.

Because nothing on Portent is as it seems.... And their allies might be just as ready to kill them, as their enemies. 

Book 7 in the Amazon best-selling Drop Trooper series by Rick Partlow is here. It's military sci-fi, the way it's supposed to be!
