  • "From the author of the bestselling 'Night's Dawn Trilogy', a new space adventure on galactic scale. Born in a colony world in 2310, Lawrence Newton hankered after the golden era of starships exploring the galaxy. But the age of human starflight was drawing to a close, so this hot-heated teenager ran away from home in search of adventure...Twenty years later, he's the sergeant of a washed-out platoon taking part in the bungled invasion of another world. The giant corporations call such campaigns 'asset realization', but in practice it's simple piracy. While he's on the ground, being shot at and firebombed by local resistance forces, Lawrence hears stories about the Temple of the Fallen Dragon -- and a sect devoted to the worship of a mythical creature that fell to the ground millennia ago. More importantly, its priests are said to guard a hoard of treasure large enough to buy lifelong happiness -- which information prompts him to mount a private-enterprise operation of his own."
  • "Sur le monde-colonie d'Améthie, XXIVe siècle, Lawrence Newton, qui rêvait d'être pilote spatial, devient sergent d'un bataillon pour le compte des MegaCorps engagés dans une mission de piraterie dans un autre monde. Sur cette planète, les troupes ont à faire face à des mouvements de résistance et Lawrence apprend l'existence d'un immense trésor gardé par une secte dans le Temple du Dragon déchu."
  • "In the distant future, corporations have created their own militaries. On a rebellious impulse, Lawrence joined one, but he now sees its ruthless exploitation. His only hope for escape is to buy his place into a better corporation. When his platoon is sent to a distant colony to quell the Resistance, it seems like a stroke of amazing fortune."
