Rika is mech-meat, a cyborg killing machine, created by the Genevian military and cast aside when the war was lost. Now she slings cargo on Dekar Station, falling deeper in debt as she struggles to make enough money to keep her cybernetic body functioning. The local gangs would love to have her join their ranks, and the takings would pay her bills, but the only thing Rika hates more than what she's become, is killing for others. But morals don't buy repairs and she's at the point of utter desperation when her loan holder cashes in her debt and sells her to the highest bidder.

Humanity, previously dependent on the K'Tai for its Redlazore, discovers vast resources of the most valuable mineral in the galaxy on Agate and is now free to expand across the stars: Redlazore is also the key component to faster-than-light travel. The planet Agate is, however, the human colony-world which lies perilously close to the K'Tai Imperium, and the K'Tai resolve to put the upstart humans back in their place. The K'Tai Imperium invades Agate. On the ground, in the midst of the whirlwind conflict is the Carter family.
Summary
Lieutenant Jackson Silver walked into the bustling dock workers’ bar. The heavy stale air seemed to cling to his skin. The smell of unwashed workers and their oily grease-stained overalls infiltrated every corner of the crowded, dimly lit dive. Many pairs of eyes watched him as he headed for the bar. It had been a long day, and he was looking forward to a drink and an hour or so of alone time before returning to his posting on the outskirts of district five.
Little did Lieutenant Jackson Silver realize what kind of a situation he was walking into when he walked into that bar, or how much trouble he was about to get into, all in defense of one young Trooper. Ever the cool Galactic Fleet Commando, what follows is nothing short of personal adventure, adversity, and triumph over a broken regime.
Immerse yourself in this short fantasy world of military hardship, and enjoy the success and survival of Lieutenant Jackson Silver today.
