Description
On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes unlikely.
Wrongly convicted of treason, Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the killing suns of the Morton Barrens, until the day a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with an offer of freedom—and a chance to clear his name.
Gideon doesn’t have to think twice. He takes the offer and with his pet draco, Elvis, on his shoulder, boards an airship for the city of Nike in search of revenge… and justice… but mostly revenge.
What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and a trio of assassins bent on stopping Gideon from discovering the menace buried at the heart of the Colonial Corps.
Can Gideon survive long enough to uncover the real traitor before they can bring Fortune's new and fragile peace to an explosive end?
Soldier of Fortune is the first standalone novel in the The Fortune Chronicles, an epic mash-up of science fiction, steampunk, mystery, and humor. If you like down-at-heels heroes, comic banter, and roller-coaster action you'll love this thrill ride to the brave new world of Fortune.

Advance Praise
What Amazon Readers have to say about Soldier of Fortune
"I'm completely enamored with Quinn and his merry collection of misfits--"
"Everything I want in a book, is here!"
"Tightly plotted, well-written, full of action and adventure."
"This is my third or fourth time reading this story and I still love it!"
Dingy Deb (reader): "This first book was a fascinating peek into the planet Fortune's universe that just resonates with realism (especially if you are a Brit!) I found myself cheering on Gideon Quinn as he planned and executed his adrenaline-infused plans to "facilitate" not only his own problems but those of at least 4 others - all at the same fell swoop. Also, kudos, Ms. McClure for the innovative innuendos to the busy bee society they lived in. I always leave an unbiased review now for every book I purchase or receive from the author, InstaFreebie, ebookdiscovery, etc. I originally received this book free but after reading it, I had to purchase it to make sure it would be there to read again. Yes, it is that good and I didn't even mention the eye-rolling humor! Well, guess I did now."
Self-Publishing Review: "Soldier of Fortune has a lot to offer between its endearing characters and remarkable world, complete with all the little touches which sell the planet of Fortune as an expansive, immersive setting. There's even a cool slang used throughout; a neat touch that is thankfully easy to pick up and doesn't just act as a barrier to entry. An absolutely stand-out little book and a roaring first showing from debut author Kathleen McClure."
