Darken Voss was the spare heir: insurance for the dynasty, but a wastrel to his father. His father wasn’t entirely wrong.
As fate would have it, his ceremonial post — Commander of Planetary Defenses — gives his life meaning. But the cost will be high . . . for the planet, for him personally.
When a pirate assault tears across the planet, Voss does exactly what he was trained to do—lead from the front and protect the people under his command. It was a war he should have lost. A planet that had known peace for generations wasn’t prepared for the savagery of battle. Outdated resources, untrained recruits and a ruthless enemy . . . defeat was inevitable.
But unacceptable. Darken Voss, disciple of the privileged life, finds he’s damned good at war.
Flaws of Decency begins the Voss’s Vipers saga: loyalty, wit, found family, and a crew who’ll take any job — as long as it’s the right thing to do.
Call them mercenaries if you want.
They prefer heroes for hire.
Genre: Science Fiction
