Fool's Gold

Twenty-Two light years from Earth, a devastating civil war has cut off the Twin Suns territory, leaving it barely able to sustain itself. The keys to its survival are the former smugglers that move goods from planet to planet quickly. Carson Lyle is among the best. But even the best can get in over their heads. Charged with treason by the same government that fueled the conflict and stole his life during the war, they offer him an opportunity he can't refuse. Just deliver a simple cargo to the breakaway Outer Rim colonies and all will be forgiven. Simple? Not hardly. Especially when it would mean he would be forgiving that same government, himself. Then he finds out someone he's been searching for is neck deep in the group he needs to deliver to. Someone he�s wanted to kill for a very long time. To do so, Carson Lyle will have to risk everything, deep in hostile territory, and climb into the cockpit of a combat mech for the first time in years. If he can still hack it, he might even get out alive. FOOL�S GOLD is the first part of Thomas J. Rock�s military science fiction series, CARSON LYLE�S WAR - In an adventure to right the injustice done to him by a self-serving government that cost him everything he loved, Carson Lyle will race to prevent another war. Old wounds will be torn open and a secret will be revealed that will send shockwaves all the way back to Earth.
