Lone Wolf Squadron

A Lone Wolf Pilot, a Debt of Honor, and Pirates on the Federation Frontier Fighter pilot Beau Ward was always willing to bend the rules to get the job done. His "independent" attitude got him bounced around the Federation Fleet for years-until he took it too far. A long-standing debt has been called in, and he's the one who must pay it back. Beau's actions land him a last chance command in the frontier system of Tardex with the order to assist an old friend and shipmate whose family has been torn apart by pirates. Tasked with commanding a collection of misfit pilots, Beau must gather the squadron, scrounge for ships, and rescue the captured colonists before it's too late. A Pricolici engineer, a former scrounger from the Skaine mob, a grizzled Marine sergeant, and a green recruit. What could go wrong? Can Beau hold Lone Wolf Squadron together long enough to stage a rescue?

Misfit Pilots, Missing Colonists, and Murderous Mercenaries The frontier is beginning to feel like home for the ragtag team who came together to fight the good fight and found a family in the process. Commander Beau Ward must take the fight to the pirates to rescue the rest of the colonists. To succeed, he needs a bigger team. The Admiral assigns the men Beau needs, but the newcomers are, unsurprisingly, misfits with a secret of their own that could compromise the entire mission. Meanwhile, Katy has a different kind of miracle to pull off. One that draws attention from all the wrong places . . . With increasing danger on every front, can Beau pull the squadron together in time to win the battle and bring the colonists home? Lone Wolf Squadron might have won the initial battle, but they still could lose the war.

A Missing Comrade, Raider Attacks, and a Surplus of Plotting Enemies Lieutenant Commander Beau Ward has too much on his plate. June is acting even quirkier than usual, the space station is malfunctioning, and his growing squadron needs new fighters to fly their missions. Worst of all, finding a lead on who kidnapped Katy is turning up nothing but dead ends. Beau's pilot shortage is eased by a new arrival, and Katy's apprentice may be green but he's stepping up to make her proud in her absence. The search for Katy is further complicated by the Kratch piling on the pressure with regular attacks. But do they have an ally on Uuru? When news of Katy comes in, the only option Beau has is to ask for . . . external assistance. Can the squadron take the battle to the enemy in time to pull off the most daring rescue yet?
