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.

Been awhile since SC2 but decided not to go back and refresh memory. Dove right in to SC3 and loving it!
Finally digging into the third part of a three part tragedy. Strange is back at it with new characters and old friends. Chasing the last Ultra mega-ship across the galaxy to settle a debit is pure Strange. The crew “gets it on” with a bit of the old fashioned ultraviolence during the first assault and boarding action. On old friend comes in to save the company from a slaughter and more action is in store to satisfy any fight junkies in the audience. Chaos announced there is going to be a Fourth Book, so now I have something strange to look forward to. Easily the best gunfights and battles in fiction today. Read all three and get your fight on, YMMV.
Readers of the previous two books should be well prepared to “get it on”! Book three continues the action, dives deeper into character back stories and leaves you feeling more like an honorary member of Strange!
Honestly, I’m loving it so far it’s gritty very funny. I can’t really put it down.
With this book, Nick has managed to take this series to new heights. It was hard to put it down. Every page has action, drama, and the one thing you didn't expect: Orion, offering you the chance to see if maybe we will finally get the answers. The ending, chef's kiss.
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.
