This time they're off to help the Bagarian cluster in its rebellion against the Alliance, but they'll quickly find that the worst threats to the rebels are the treacherous politicians leading them. Leary and Mundy use electronic espionage, sub-machine guns, and shipkilling missiles to outwit political rivals, put down mutiny, and capture an Alliance fortress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True love is what all people desire to their very core. It takes many shapes and forms and can be missed at the slightest misstep. Fate always plays a role in the direction it wants to drive young hearts, whether it be together or apart. Luke Weston must deal with fate's evil hand as it drives him far from where he needs to be and away from true love. Being a young cowboy on the harsh West Texas landscape can be a most challenging way of life. This is especially true if this way of life is not what you desire. Luke struggles with what he has been told he must do to help his small family and what his heart believes it really wants. A sleek set of forty-five pistols is all that he has to relieve the stress of everyday life on the small ranch. His blazing speed is finely tuned each day at his makeshift targets as the days melt into one another. There he can imagine his life on the open range and adventures to the faraway mountains of the Rockies. He believes that there he can find great riches and a lifestyle that will bring peace of mind. The call of many ladies, his family needs, and the wilds of the rugged mountains pull at his soul as he matures into a handsome young cowboy. Many other issues arise as love tries to find him while he tries to find himself. Fate takes him to places he doesn't want to be and far from the true love that waits with open arms. In the end, a strange type of love must try to conquer fate's evil hand, a hand that it tries to deal at the table of life in the West Texas badlands.

Book excerpt: Chapter I. AN ARRIVAL. One of the earliest scenes I can remember with perfect distinctness is this. My sister and I, still denizens of the nursery, had come down to take our tea with good old Rebecca Torkill, the Malory housekeeper, in the room we called the cedar parlour. It is a long and rather sombre room, with two tall windows looking out upon the shadowy court-yard. There are on the wall some dingy portraits, whose pale faces peep out, as it were, through a background of black fog, from the canvas; and there is one, in better order than the others, of a grave man in the stately costume of James the First, which hangs over the mantel-piece. As a child I loved this room; I loved the half-decipherable pictures; it was solemn and even gloomy, but it was with the delightful gloom and solemnity of one of Rebecca Torkill's stories of castles, giants, and goblins. It was evening now, with a stormy, red sky in the west. Rebecca and we two children were seated round the table, sipping our tea, eating hot cake, and listening to her oft-told tale, entitled the Knight of the Black Castle. This knight, habited in black, lived in his black castle, in the centre of a dark wood, and being a giant, and an ogre, and something of a magician besides, he used to ride out at nightfall with a couple of great black bags, to stow his prey in, at his saddle-bow, for the purpose of visiting such houses as had their nurseries well-stocked with children. His tall black horse, when he dismounted, waited at the hall-door, which, however mighty its bars and bolts, could not resist certain magical words which he uttered in a sepulchral voice--
