Steel Reign: Preflight

by Braxton A. Cosby

THE EPIC COMIC BOOK PREQUEL TO THE HIGH-ACCLAIMED STEEL REIGN: FLIGHT OF THE STARSHIP CONCORD

Times in Proxima Centauri are hard and only getting worse. Ever since the assassination of King Derry of the planet Fabricius, The Torrian Alliance has rallied around his successor Prince William Derry. But the economy has plummeted, and threats of another assassination loom in the background as factions wage war and make alliances under the guise of peace. For ex-Bounty Hunter Steel Reign, the word peace has never been a part of his language as he’s both witnessed and been a part of some of the most vile and deadliest coupes and wars the galaxy has ever experienced.

Now, after failing to uncover leads on a band of genetically enhanced soldiers, Reign finds himself crewed to a small space freighter hustling sides jobs with a doctor to make ends meet. It’s a mutual relationship for sure, as long as no one crosses personal boundaries. That is until the doctor does the unthinkable: asks Reign to help him find his teenage daughter, who has been missing for over one solar year, possibly the victim of a child trafficking ring in the Belt of Aster. Plagued by the haunting memories of his own lost family member, Reign must decide to follow his head or his heart. Either way, Reign knows that the unattainable peace he seeks is only getting farther away.
