War Zone (Star Crusades: Mercenaries Book 5)

Z'Kanthu hesitated, and then explained.
"Space and ground forces are being mobilised, and the IAB is to be sent home to resupply and regroup. You are being relieved out here and the High Command intends on securing the border before this turns into a full-scale war with the Star Empire and their agents in the Alliance."
Spartan ignored him and looked to Gun.
"He's a lot more talkative now, don't you think?"
Syala leaned in and kicked Spartan cheek. He grinned and looked to her, but before he could speak, the mighty machine added a few more words.
"It would appear the time for mercenaries and warlords is finally over. You are all going home."
Spartan stopped and nodded towards one of the many burning structures in the city.
"We might be going home, but I tell you now. This Star Empire is not going away, and we're a long way from being ready to fight them."
"What's the plan?" asked Gun.
Spartan looked at Syala, and then Arana before finally moving his eyes back to Khan. Well, first I intend on spending some time with my lovely ladies..."
"And then?" asked Khan.
Spartan licked his lips with anticipation.
"And then we get back and get our people ready for what's coming. Because I tell you now, my friend. A war is coming with this Star Empire, and I intend on being there when it happens."
SPARTAN WILL RETURN!

Thank you for taking the time to read the final book in my Mercenaries series. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Though this marks the end of this chapter in the series, it far from the end of the story. Spartan will be back for further thrilling adventures, and more about the struggles with the Star Empire can be found in the cross-over young-adult series, Star Crusader.
