Fortune's Fallen: Fortune Chronicles 1.5

Once a decorated Colonel of the Colonial Corps, Gideon Quinn sacrificed everything to protect his company—and was rewarded with a conviction for treason and a lifetime sentence in Morton Barrens Penitentiary.

Under the merciless suns of Fortune's deadliest wasteland, prisoners harvest the volatile crystals that keep the colonies alive. Escape is impossible. Hope is dangerous. And every day is a battle to survive.

But Gideon has little interest in survival. 

At least, not until he encounters Renny Boucher, a fellow prisoner with a long memory, a lingering hatred, and a thirst for revenge more deadly than the prison itself.

But Renny isn't Gideon's only complication. There are people here who need help, friendships he never intended to make, and pieces of the man he used to be that refuse to stay buried. And despite everything that's been taken from him, Gideon discovers he may still have something worth fighting for.

That is, if Renny doesn’t kill him first. 

Welcome to the Morton Barrens, where the suns are harsh, the food a joke, and the past unforgiving. 

Fortune's Fallen is the second book of The Fortune Chronicles, delving the crucible of a prison that forged Gideon Quinn. 

Perfect for fans of The Mandalorian, Firefly, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Leverage.
