Mavericks: Expeditionary Force, Book 6

The remnants of the Expeditionary Force, stranded on the alien-controlled planet "Paradise," are given a chance to prove themselves. They are tasked with a simple off-world training mission, aboard a ship filled with teenage alien cadets. However, when the mission takes a disastrous turn, and the survival of everyone on Paradise is put at risk, the Merry Band of Pirates may be the only ones who can come to the rescue. But they must act quickly, before they meet their own demise.

On the alien-controlled world of "Paradise," the Expeditionary Force survivors find themselves presented with an unexpected opportunity. They are selected to participate in a routine training exercise, alongside a crew of young alien cadets, aboard a ship bound for a nearby planet. This mission seems like a straightforward assignment, a chance for the stranded humans to demonstrate their skills and earn the trust of their alien hosts.

However, the seemingly simple task quickly spirals out of control. Unexpected complications arise, and the training exercise descends into chaos. Suddenly, the very existence of everyone on Paradise is threatened, and the Expeditionary Force realizes that they may be the only ones capable of intervening and restoring order.

Enter the Merry Band of Pirates, a group of unconventional individuals with a reputation for daring and resourcefulness. These unlikely heroes, who have been observing the events on Paradise from afar, now find themselves presented with a choice: will they risk their own lives to save the very people they have been evading and avoiding?

Time is of the essence, as the situation on Paradise grows increasingly dire. The Expeditionary Force, despite their limited resources and precarious position, must work quickly to stabilize the situation and prevent a catastrophic outcome. Meanwhile, the Merry Band of Pirates must decide whether to heed the call for help or to pursue their own interests, even if it means abandoning the inhabitants of Paradise to their fate.

The fate of the alien-controlled world and its inhabitants now rests in the hands of these two disparate groups, each with their own agendas and challenges. Can the Expeditionary Force and the Merry Band of Pirates overcome their differences and work together to avert disaster? Or will they succumb to the perilous circumstances, leaving Paradise and its people to an uncertain and potentially devastating future?
