A trade station on the edge of civilization. A shadow war ready to ignite. And a gunslinger who just wanted a bowl of chili.
Jake, fugitive mage, small-time trader, and occasionally principled gunslinger, needs a break. His ship is falling apart and he’s bone-tired. Rimont Station looks like the perfect place to lay low: just another forgotten hub in a quiet corner of space.
But peace was always an illusion. Behind Rimont’s bright lights and polished trade agencies, corruption festers. When riots turn to civil war and genocide, Jake has a choice: run, hide, or stand his ground and help.
Last Stand at Rimont is a fast-paced, standalone space western packed with gunfights, magic, and high-stakes rebellion. Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Mandalorian, and old-school pulp adventures.
This is the third novella in the Warded Gunslinger series of short, action-packed adventures full of reluctant heroes, found family, and pulpy grit in a sprawling space opera universe.
No filler. No mercy. Just bullets, honor, and whatever justice you can make for yourself.
“Another great story in the increasingly engaging series. The action is constant, the developing relationship between Jake and Hao is fascinating, including the snark bewteen them, and I look forward to the next book in series.”
– Patrick, Goodreads
