Chaos and Collateral

About the book

One explosion changed everything.

Marc Black believed his days as a mercenary were behind him, haunted by a tragic error that led to the deaths of two of his recruits.

Arriving at a devastated outpost in hopes of joining the notorious Iron Talons, he instead encounters a scene of carnage and ruin. His fortune takes a turn when Varik, a recruiter for the Vanguard Syndicate, presents him with a lifeline.

Now a member of a ragtag team, Marc partners with Brick, a demolitions specialist obsessed with explosions; Risa, a sharp-witted infiltration expert; Tarek, a tech whiz whose contraptions could be their salvation or doom; and Cinder, a calm and deadly Vorath warrior.

Marc is tasked with leading this unruly group through grueling training exercises that push them to their limits. From malfunctioning high-tech cities to creature-infested jungles, each trial unites them - unless they inadvertently blow everything up.

As they face off against a dangerous black-market syndicate in their final test, Marc must guide his erratic team through legitimate peril. Succeeding will secure them full Syndicate membership and a chance to make amends for past mistakes.

Haunted by his past, can Marc overcome his guilt to steer his team to victory, or will his second chance end in disaster once more?
