The Chimerium Gambit

Meer over het boek

In the far future, aerospace navies protect governments against threats across the void between planets, but when conflict erupts on the ground, they prove ineffective. Civil unrest, revolutions, and governmental betrayals leave planets seeking help from mercenaries, the last bastion of professional ground troops. Among them is a misfit crew known as The Radiation Angels, led by Captain Todd Rook. Initially contracted for a coup, they find themselves betrayed by their employers. Now, they must gamble everything—fortunes, friendships, and their lives—on a daring plan that could lead to unimaginable wealth or certain death. This high-stakes endeavor, known as The Chimerium Gambit, propels them across the universe toward a climactic confrontation with a dictator's forces. The showdown will occur on Mars, a treacherous battleground devoid of reinforcements and proper equipment. As they navigate this perilous landscape, the crew must rely on their nerve and resourcefulness to survive the deadly challenges ahead.
