Gumbo: A Rise of the Peacemakers Story

by Matt Novotny

Peacemaker Candidate Jackson Rains has a problem to fix on the agro world of Avbo, and it has entirely too many legs. Tensions between the Flatar-Tortantula garrison and the Xiq’tal mercenaries that use Avbo as a liberty world have escalated from a minor conflict to an all-out war. While both sides are having a wonderful time killing one another, not even the Mercenary Guild is talking about why…

Gumbo is a short story of 10,000 words in the Rise of the Peacemakers series - set in the Four Horsemen Universe.

38 pages, Kindle Edition

[Cyn McDonald · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good writing but completely overshadowed by the groaners. It was really hard to read aloud, what with the alien Xiq'tal and their leader CrRkkt.
