Chaos and Collateral
One explosion changed everything.
Marc Black thought his mercenary days were over after a devastating mistake cost the lives of two recruits under his command.
When he arrives at a ruined outpost hoping to join the infamous Iron Talons, he finds only death and destruction. His luck changes when Varik, a recruiter for the Vanguard Syndicate, offers him a second chance.
Now part of a misfit squad, Marc works alongside Brick, a demolition expert with an unhealthy love of explosions; Risa, a sharp-tongued infiltration specialist; Tarek, a tech genius whose gadgets might save or kill them; and Cinder, a stoic Vorath warrior with unmatched combat skills.
Marc must lead this chaotic team through increasingly dangerous training simulations that test their limits. From glitchy neon cityscapes to monster-infested jungles, each challenge brings them closer together—if they don't blow everything up first.
When their final test turns out to be against a deadly black-market ring, Marc must coordinate his unpredictable squad through genuine danger. Their success will earn them full membership in the Syndicate and redemption for past failures.
The scars of Marc's past still haunt him. Can he truly overcome his guilt and lead this team to victory, or will his second chance end in another catastrophic failure?
