Riotfish, Inc.: In Debt
Community Rating
Description
Noteverybody would hire an orc as their military strategist, but David Fleer would. He’d also use a little old lady as his getawaydriver,and a derangedlizardmanwho clings to reality like a nudist clings to a cactus.
Maybe that’s why he’s on the verge of going out of business.
Fleer runs–or tries to run–Riotfish, Inc., a hard-luck mercenary outfit working cheapcontractsfor megacorporations who don’t want to get their hands dirty.He’d be better off fielding real soldiers, but he’s grown to love his misfits. Plus, they’re all he can afford.
Now the Riotfish are facing a critical cash shortage. They’re under the gun in more ways than one, and after a misunderstanding leads them to assault their auditor, all their loans are called due. Fleer and his crew have six weeks to come up with half a million credits, or they’ll be terminallyout of business.And nobody willhirethe survivors.
To make that kind of money, the Riotfish are going to have to get in way over their heads: navigating dark corporate conspiracies,blackmailing execs, anddodging vengeful black ops squads while working out how to steal a vast cache of forgotten corporate assets. Keeping the Riotfish in business won’t mean much if they all end up dead, though. And Fleer is going to find out just how far he can push them.

- SpaceDorfRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Book One just finished, and I really liked it.
And if you are aquainted with the 70 Maximes of maximally effective Mercenaries this book might be for you as well.
Quirky Characters down on their luck and clawing their way up to even get the chance of a redemption arc are a rarity between overpowered time travelling cultivators.
So if you like to read something different for a change hire some Riotfish.
