When Carson Flint, a former Commonwealth military member, traded in his badge for a quieter life, he believed he had left his battles behind. For two years, he has been the proprietor of the Bulwark, a saloon bustling with a myriad of characters – refugees seeking refuge, smugglers peddling their wares, and the occasional weary soldier who stumbles in for a drink. It’s the peace Carson has been longing for, a reprieve from his tumultuous past. Or so he thinks.
Life at the Bulwark may have brought Carson a sense of calm, but it also served up an unwelcome dish of boredom. However, everything changes when a fugitive Commonwealth operative crashes into his sanctuary, bringing with him dangerous secrets and a relentless war criminal on his tail. Suddenly, the saloon transforms from a haven to a hotbed of danger, forcing Carson back into a world he had tried so hard to escape.
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Carson is thrust back into high-stakes galactic intrigue filled with insidious conspiracies and dangerous militias. He must make a critical decision: will he risk everything to aid his old allies or abandon them to let the chaos unfold? His choices could alter not only the fate of the Bulwark but possibly the entire galaxy.
