Online. PDF. Epub.

A story about a soldier who is tasked with the most dangerous job of those in powerful mech suits–running point and setting up the perimeter right in the teeth of the hostile alien forces. When confronted with such a mission, the temptation to cut corners and assure your own safety is always present. But sometimes arbitrary decisions have horrible consequences.

“Deadeye”
Online. PDF. Epub.

Major “Deadeye” Wolfson is the most celebrated artillery man in the civil war, a war hero who is able to take the deadly and amazing innovations of his father and wreak destruction with them. When news comes that Deadeye’s father is gravely ill, he books a trip on a mighty airship, secure in the knowledge that he has something that will bring his father great joy on his deathbed–an item from Tesla’s lab. But when his airship is attacked by rebel ships, Deadeye is called into action… and finds he has to make a horrible choice.
