Traveling Tyrant

When Galactic Hotels finds itself prevented from annexing a world filled with rare animals just begging to be killed by wealthy hunters, they need morally reprehensible individuals to solve their problems. Mordid the Traveling Tyrant and his mercenaries are up to the task, but can Mordid survive the twisting schemes of his employer, command staff, and even himself? With a beautiful woman, alien spiders, and raging fanatics all after his blood — what's a Tyrant to do?

After the fiery events on Paradisa, Mordid the Traveling Tyrant and his ruthless band of mercenaries decide to lie low in the lawless region of space known as the Upper Arm. There, Mordid finds work on the planet of Pristine. Zaltrek, the planet's dictator, is losing his grip on the world, and Mordid promises to help- for a price. Unfortunately for the Traveling Tyrant, a woman gets involved, his own command staff plot his demise, and his employer is having second thoughts about their arrangement. Worse, the morale of his men is flagging, and even an order to have Casual Fridays isn't lifting their spirits. Between Mordid's murderous friends, enraged foes, and his duty to the shadowy investors- what's a Tyrant to do?

After propping up a planetary dictator on a backwater planet, Mordid is ready to get back into the game of high-priced mercenary work. His task seems simple enough, to deliver the Pope to Earth. However, Earth has its own plans regarding the galaxy, there's a war to be stopped, and Mordid's command staff are planning one another's murder. Between lucrative wars, fabulous wealth, and a grander war on the horizon - what's a Tyrant to do?

The government of Earth has decided to wage war, on Mordid personally, and unite mankind under their unrelenting, loving embrace. Faced with the prospect of a war far beyond his scope and perhaps his means, Mordid flees to the hidden casino of the Three Regrets, either to find answers or to hide. Meanwhile, Earth unleashes an old foe that will stop at nothing to catch up with the man who usurped him.

Mordid has returned from his gambling foray with news of aliens, but that pales in comparison with the revelation that General Thrask has, stolen his company. Mordid is, forced to give pursuit and fight for what is his on the planet no one wants to go to and no one likes to talk about. With just a handful of men and his silver tongue, Mordid must reclaim his title as Traveling Tyrant.
