With the peace having now returned to Planet Kruptos, Captain Abel Ramsey of the United Earth Coalition Space Force now turned his attention to the upper heavens, where the Star Tribe are currently being held prisoner by the world serpent Jormungandr.

The world is a blur to Ellna, a firehilt who guides strangers through the dark despite her impaired vision. For years, she has saved money to correct her eyesight, yet the price feels out of reach until taking on a client from Seawick 15. The client, Glenus, likes to collect dead animals beneath Ellna's lantern light, and each outing draws Ellna closer to an unsettling opportunity: Glenus might wield magic capable of curing her vision, but at what cost?
RED CHECKS OVER RHODES, PART 1: In the far future, a city of ten million people on an alien moon is under occupation by an invading power so very human. The United Nations' Unified Naval Command has organized the largest air force ever brought to bear on one target, and has carried it across the stars in a high-stakes raid to open the door to the city of Rhodes' liberation. Operation DEADLINE is a go, and in four hours of abject chaos, aviators Wicked and Goodfella are about to find out: the greatest threat lurking in the skies of Marathon isn't hanging from a fighter's weapons hardpoints. It's in their heads.
Part air combat action technothriller, part psychological drama, RED CHECKS OVER RHODES is a story about the wounds we just won't let heal. And fighter jets, of course.
