Cursed with immortality, Andromache of Scythia and her comrades-in-arms ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services.

Madi

once upon a time in the future
"Madi Preston, a veteran of Britain's elite special operations J-Squad unit, is burnt out and up to her eyeballs in debt. She and the rest of her team have retired from the military but are now trapped having to pay to service and maintain the technology put into them during their years of service. They're working for British conglomerate Liberty Inc as mercenaries, selling their unique ability to be remote controlled by specialists while in the field, and the debts are only growing as they get injured completing missions. We meet Madi as she decides she's had enough. She will take an off-the-books job that should earn her enough to pay out her and her sister, but when the piece of tech she's supposed to steal turns out to be a kid, and she suddenly blacks out... she finds herself on the run from everyone she's ever known."--Provided by publisher.

Black leopard, red wolf

2019
"Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: 'He has a nose,' people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying?"--Provided by publisher.

Zero footprint

the true story of a private military contractor's covert assignments in Syria, Libya, and the world's most dangerous places
Armored cars, burner phones, top-notch weaponry, and top-secret missions. This is the life of today's private military contractor. Simon Chase, and many other PMC's were once the world's top military operatives---retired from the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six and the UK's Special Boat Service. The operations can be so hazardous and politically sensitive that they require a "zero footprint", that is no trace of any action left behind. Simon Chase, and the men he works with, operate without government backup or air rescue. If they die, they die, and they remain anonymous. There are no military honors or benefits. They are a strong, but largely invisible force in the war against terrorism.
