Mercenary's Code: A Wild Geese Science Fiction Novel

by Steven M. Silver

There is a fire in the Frontier, a fire of a growing and dangerous empire. Though light years from the farming world of Kodomir, it burns a former enemy who seeks Kodomir’s assistance. It may be a devil’s bargain, but Kodomir needs allies and feels honor-bound to pay a debt. The Kodomir Militia sends its only unit with off-world experience, the former mercenaries called the Wild Geese. Gwielgi is given the job of devising the plan to pull down the empire but the only chance to do it will put the woman he loves at deadly risk. But no plan can protect the Geese from harm or possible betrayal as they face massive odds and a conspiracy that could cost them everything – the debt of honor calls for a terrible cost. Mercenary’s Code, the third in the Wild Geese series, brings the reader into the experience of war in the 29th Century; while the weapons are of the future, the human drives are eternal. Friendships, love, politics, betrayal, vengeance, the terrible cost of freedom, are all a part of Mercenary’s Code. Steven M. Silver uses his experience in the military, as a historian, and as a psychologist, to take the reader into the realm of war and politics.
