A hard-hitting collection of the best fiction of Michael Z. Williamson,
creator of the popular Freehold military SF saga.
It's a tough universe out there. Duty in the face of danger on a planetary
scale. Pride and competence in the face of idiotic clients who hate that they
need your services, and an enemy who wants to make your bad day even worse.
These are stories of the warriors and civilians who get things done in extreme
situations, whether it's rescue from a ship broken in space and leaking air and
radiation, hard choices by a brigade of mercenary swords in a world of blood and
magic, or scramble and response by troops in the Sandbox doing what it takes to
make it through another scorching, rocket-filled day.
