In the 22nd century, corporations rule the stars. On the pioneer world of Eris, a routine patrol for CorSec gunner Gordon and his crew shatters the corporate-sold peace. Ambushed and left for dead, they uncover a conspiracy that runs deeper than a simple rebellion, forcing them into a brutal war against the very colonists they were sworn to protect.
Surviving the conflict, they find themselves "heroes" in a sanitized new colony, their vehicle now a weapon of war. Their reward for survival is not peace, but the grim realization that their job is to police a perpetual conflict. And in the mountains where it all began, a new mystery arrives, proving the argument is far from over.
