Caps to pop and bodies to drop
As intergalactic civilization collapses and descends into chaos, the Strange Company must journey to the edge of human-controlled space to board and destroy the last ship of the corrupt Monarch Empire--in order to both satisfy a debt and salvage what remains of their reputation as hard-bitten and dangerous private military contractors.
But things are never easy for mercenaries. Plots to kill one of them abound, eccentric warrant officers are running amok--when they can be found-- and a bad case of serious PTSD about what lies ahead for Sergeant Orion plagues his waking nightmares as the Cult of Hot Soup grows. The company must “get gud” or die trying as they master boarding operations and prepare for the worst kind of combat a space marine can get their kill on in: compartment-to-compartment fighting on a ship so advanced in technology, it’s almost… alien.
Stinkeye, Hauser, Chief Cook, Sergeant Orion, and new and old Strange Company brothers are here for the violence with a ticket to ride the lightning and settle accounts with the fallen tyrants as they get their stack on and get paid. If they can make it back to their ship and a safe world beyond the limits of the known, then perhaps the company can avoid the tragedy they’ve been sucked into.
The only way out lies beyond a praetorian guard of heavily armed commandoes, emplaced guns, and enigmatic psy-powered operators. The Heart of Darkness waits at the Oblivion Gate, for the Strange Company to make one wrong move and disappear forever.

CatBoi activated Sgt Orion. Catboi typing review Sgt Orion. Catboi typing this is the finale of the Tragedy of the Strange Company. Things go as you expect they will. The strange company engages the dregs of the Monarch Fleet aboard The Dark Star and left behind Hunter Kill Teams of Cyborgs like friend Hauser. Catboi believes this story to be wildly entertaining and solves the mystery of the Wild Thing. If Catboi is correct and Catboi is always correct. You probably already know who Wild Thing is if you have read Sgt Orion’s previous log entries regarding the events with the Seeker on Crash/Astralon call it what you will and the Hot LZ on Marsantiyum. Catboi is excited Sgt Orion to stay in Reaper platoon as we head off into the unknown and meet the Star Giants. Caribou deactivating and swatting and the blasted bats in the corner of Catboi’s eyes. One day Catboi will manage to hit the blasted bats.
Nick's outdone himself with this one. In my opinion this is his best work to date. Absolutely awesome characters, a wonderful cult and epic action. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time and a super excellent addition to the Strange. If you haven't already gotten in on this tale you should, right now. Best to be honest about these things.
WarGate brings you into fantastic worlds of intense Imagination conceived by today’s best writers and follow tip of the spear modern military units in their desperate bid to survive and unlock the mystery of these amazingly dangerous worlds.
