Soldier of Fortune by Kathleen McClure Book Summary

On the planet Fortune, tech is low, tensions high, and heroes unlikely.

Wrongly convicted of treason, Colonel Gideon Quinn has spent six years harvesting crystal under the brutal suns of the Morton Barrens, so when a general of the Colonial Corps arrives with a chance to clear his name, Gideon doesn't have to think twice. He takes her offer and with his pet draco, Elvis, on his shoulder, he boards an airship bound for the city of Nike in search of revenge.

What he finds is plucky street-thief, a city steeped in corruption, and an unexpected adversary with a lethal agenda.

Now Gideon finds himself involved in an entirely different kind of war, one that, if he loses, will bring both his life and Fortune's newfound peace to a bitter, bloody end.

Soldier of Fortune, is the first Gideon Quinn Adventure, set on the steampunk-inspired planet Fortune, where dracos soar alongside airships and dodgers slip through the streets in search of their next mark. If you like down-at-heels heroes, found families, and roller-coaster action, you'll love Soldier of Fortune.

Soldier of Fortune: A Gideon Quin Adventure. Liked it enough to leave my first review. This is superb escapist fantasy, light and wity with enough clever historical and modern cultural references to force any least a few grins from anyone. Fans of Neal Stephenson and more genearally of witty sci-fi, fantasy and steam-punk will love it.

Gritty Protagonist in a Highly Engaging and Entertaining Story. What’s not to like? A principled, but flawed, man seeks justice and vengeance and a love lost to betrayal. Mix in an intelligent reptilian companion, a couple of handfuls of other quirky characters, and a detailed and nuanced world and the result is entertaining mayhem. After completing this book, it occurred to me that it captures a strong dash of the spirit of Fritz Leiber (Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser) - the principled (but not overly so) protagonist prone to impulsiveness, improvisation, and a bit of flair in pursuing (eventually) the desired objective while facilitating a few others along the way.

Soldier of Fortune. Great book. Action and great plot. Characters with depth. Smart reading.

Great!. Great! A bit of steampunk, and vivid and likable characters to anchor the story. Enjoy!

Soldier of Fortune. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well written. Nice twists to storyline. Great mix of personalities.

Excellent. Great likable characters. Good story line and it builds into future episodes without leaving you hanging. I want to read more and get to know the characters and world of Fortune better.

Can't put down - what I've been looking for!. A great read and I've bought the second book already. Gideon is that mix of wry humble hero with an edge and the book just takes you along for the ride. Reminiscent of Firefly :) Some great characters along the way but I hope we get more of Gideon and Mia in the next books.

Dickens? Good story.. Charles Dickens meets sci-fi. This story is such a take-off of Dickens that it was like reading his work. The author/authors put their minds to work creating a good story. Think I will re-read Oliver Twist now. Amusing, fun, good storyline and created world, keep going.

Good book. I was bored and looking for something to read and found this one on the free chart. I was a bit dubious but downloaded it and enjoyed it so much that I have just purchased the second one. Best free book I’ve read for ages!!!
