Dance of the Dead — Eric Johnson

A new planet.A rising insurgency.And a government that plays both sides.Captain Karl Bradi and the mercenary team known as the Blackfoot Soldiers find themselves deployed to Axos—a planet teetering on the brink of civil collapse. Hired to train local forces, Karl quickly realizes that the real battle isn't just against the rebels... but the very people who hired them.As alliances fracture and contracts go cold, C Troop navigates a growing political storm where trust is a liability and survival is never guaranteed. Shadowed by corrupt officials, foreign interference, and rising tensions within the ranks, every decision could be their last.Caught between duty and deception, Bradi must rely on instinct, firepower, and fragile partnerships to complete the mission… or escape it alive.The war isn't always on the battlefield. Sometimes, it's in the shadows.
