The mission couldn’t be simpler. It appears like an easy, straightforward operation to take care of some small-time raiders hijacking black-market weapons shipments in the Pirate Worlds. Former Recon Marine battle hero Randall Munroe doesn’t need to know why his Corporate bosses value one group of scammers stealing from another, he just has to get the job done.

However when Munroe is ordered to lead his split squad of mercenaries into a gang war around the harsh, ice-covered, barely habitable about Recon: A Battle for the Gods battleground that is Peboan, he discovers that points should never be simple and straightforward when you function for Andre Damiani, the Professional Director of the organization Council. And just when he thinks he knows the actual battle is approximately, he’s thrown a fresh curve.

Because if there’s a very important factor that every criminal, mercenary or Corporate executive in the Commonwealth is ready to get rid of for, it’s access to the shed technology from the mysterious Predecessors. The alien competition referred to as the Predecessors or Ancients built a huge selection of planets and moons to support life, created something of wormholes that linked them and then simply vanished without a trace, tens of thousands of years ago. Opportunists search endlessly for any remnant of their world-shattering power, while some go so far as to worship them as gods. And when you’re fighting for the power of the very gods, no cost is too high.
