Nothing Personal

On the frozen, alien expanse of Sabaku‑3, Gunnery Sergeant Lara Adair is on the brink of retirement as she fights her final contract with the Berserkers. Leading her platoon of towering Mauler mechs in a brutal campaign for control of a remote mining world, she clashes with relentless rebels across unforgiving terrain. When a familiar voice pierces the chaos—a voice laden with the promises of a civilian life she once thought unattainable—Adair finds herself swept into a conflict far greater than any battlefield. Ethan Kade isn't just a rival mercenary commander; she'd once cared deeply for him. Now, they stand on opposite sides of an unrelenting war. Battles both external and internal raise doubts about her future and threaten to overshadow her mission. As loyalties fray, the lines between duty and desire blur. Each move comes at a price, and Adair must reckon with the toll of every choice she makes. And if she is to survive this bloody maelstrom, she must choose where her destiny truly lies.
