Experience this exciting collection of short stories based in the Soldiers of Misfortune universe!
Inside you will find four intense stories that shed light on the early lives of the four heroes of Parasite Lost. The stories included in this anthology are...
Trial By Fire:
A tortured past, a strange addiction, and a secret identity. What will it take stop the nightmares?
Son of the richest man in the galaxy, Dante Opulen has a colorful past. He's an award-winning holo-film star, a war hero, a husband and a father. Despite his success, Dante struggles with the nightmares of his past. To pass the sleepless nights, he's become a masked vigilante. He stalks the streets at night looking to scrub clean the human refuse that lurk in the shadows. And to aid in his pursuit he's become addicted to expensive surgical procedures that cybernetically enhance his abilities.
How many implants will it take before he feels strong enough? How many criminals must he apprehend before the nightmares end? Is such a thing even possible?
There's only one way to find out.
Cradle to the Grave:
A colonization vessel has returned from deep space after being gone for decades. The only question is has it returned with its crew or something else entirely?
Alistair Preest commands a special forces team called the Ebony Enforcers. Their job is to be prepared for the unknown and, if necessary, use force to deal with it. When a colonization vessel known as a 'dawn freighter' re-enters human-controlled space after decades of being unreachable, Allistair's Enforcers are called to check it out. When they board the vessel they find it's been picked clean. Every person and item on the ship has disappeared without signs of a struggle. To Allistair and his team it appears as though the ship is completely empty.
They were wrong.
The Black Maw:
In some parts of hive city Vytal the locals will eat you alive. In this part of town they mean it literally.
Apate Nevermore is working undercover with the VCPD to investigate reports of cannibalism in the lower districts. The acts aren't random. A gang of thugs called The Black Maw are taking credit for the crimes and it's Apate's job to find them without getting caught in their web. When one of her partners goes missing while on assignment things get more interesting. Now Apate must track down the gang and her partner without blowing her cover or ending up on a dinner plate.
All this just to take a bite out of crime.
Grudge Match:
The most secure prison in the galaxy is harboring a secret that begins and ends in bloodshed.
Bren Beltrami has committed some very specific crimes to end up in Askaro prison. He did this because that's where his estranged father has spent the last decade or two of his life. Bren sent himself to prison to help break his father out, hoping they can spend their remaining years together. While in prison, Bren is discovers a secret the warden has been hiding and has to play ball long enough to get his father, and himself, out in one piece.
Unfortunately, both Bren's father and the warden have other plans.
