West is going to war, but first she needs an army. With her men either dead or captured she needs outside help and turns to the warlord Old Father. Surrounded by unlikely allies and facing a mysterious enemy, she'll need to rely on Joshua. But the young supersoldier isn't used to taking orders and she doesn't know if she can trust him. He could tip the scales in her favour, or condemn her plan before it begins. None of it matters. West wants revenge, and she'll do whatever it takes to get it. *** The Dead Men are a company of corporate soldiers on the run for the crime of disobeying orders and breaking their contracts. Lying low in a small African nation still recovering from its last civil war, they put their unique skills and moral apathy to good use. Warlords, the government, rebels, even foreign corporations eager to exploit the tumultuous nation, the Dead Men will work for anyone, for the right price.
