2015-01-24 Sons of Janus, Part 1: Man vs. Boy [Jason Schmetzer]
"I don't know how many, and they're inside the wall!"
Even in the midst of a planetary invasion, secrets must be protected. Or stolen. As the Circinus Federation invades Blantleff, an elite team of mercenary infiltrators moves toward a Marian research facility, intent on stealing the secrets hidden there. Part 1 of 7.
2015-02-08 Sons of Janus, Part 2: It's A Job [Jason Schmetzer]
Bullets were little use against powered armor.
The Marian security at the Rostrum site was as competent as it could be, but unarmored infantry sent against battle armor is at more than a disadvantage. When that battle armor is piloted by veteran mercenaries, the disadvantage is even greater.

It was a length of wire, with a pin attached to one end.
The mercenaries have found what they came for, but they've taken too long. Outside the facility a platoon of Marian tanks has arrived. It will take all of their skill to escape the powerful units sent to stop them
2015-02-22 Sons of Janus, Part 4: Maelstrom [Jason Schmetzer]
It was like being seventeen again.
As Cabot and his team change modes of transportation, a new officer takes over the pursuit. Centurion Bohan had fought the Circinus Federation before, but what had come from the sky in this invasion was nothing like what he'd fought before.

Having made their escape, the small mercenary team lays up, waiting for their Circinan contact to arrive to pull them out. Behind them, their Marian pursuers are closing the gap. Things should be winding down, but for Cabot and his team, trouble is only beginning.
2015-03-08 Sons of Janus, Part 6: When One Door Closes... [Jason Schmetzer]
