A NEW LEGION. A DIRTY WAR. A CHOICE THAT COULD DESTROY THEM ALL.
Colonel Jack Busker has done the impossible: he’s rebuilt the Mephisto Legion from the ashes of its destruction. Now, he just needs to keep it alive.
The Legion’s first official contract under the Mercenary Bonding Commission seems like a textbook assignment. The water world of Gutteron is being strangled by an insurgency that threatens its rare pharmaceutical exports. For a new regiment looking to earn its stripes and a coveted ''A’ rating, securing the supply lines should be easy money.
But on Gutteron, the truth is buried deep beneath the surface.
As Jack’s elite Specter pilots and scouts deploy their Penetrators and Arcus IFVs, they find a world of murky shadows. The "terrorists" they were hired to hunt are actually desperate independent harvesters, and the government they’re protecting is a web of corruption, abduction, and cold-blooded murder.
When a brutal militia commander turns his guns on innocent civilians, Jack faces a choice that will define the Legion’s future: follow the contract and become a regime’s hitmen, or invoke the "war crimes" clause and turn their rotary cannons on their own employers.
In the business of war, there are no clean getaways. To save Gutteron, Jack must risk the Legion’s reputation, its legal standing, and the lives of every trooper under his command in a high-stakes gamble to overthrow a tyrant.
The mission was supposed to be a fresh beginning. It turned into a fight for the Legion’s soul.
False Startis the explosive second installment inThe Mephisto Legionseries. Perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, JN Chaney, and military science fiction featuring high-tech power armor, gritty tactical combat, and heroes who know exactly where to draw the line.
