Badger Company

I am a sucker for mercenary companies it seems. The banter and camaraderie, dirty soldier humour and general sense of community engendered within a good mercenary book is hard to beat.

Badger Company follows the tale of down on its luck mercenary company who has been forced to try to sign on for a somewhat suicidal war to try and clear their name after some series of cock ups which are alluded to without fully explaining has made them somewhat unemployable. When one of the company accidentally unleashes a demon on the city they are trying to gain employment in they are forced to prove their skill to get out of the new mess they are in.

This is a shorter novel and was a really quick read, aided by the fun sense of action that pervades it. Very much on the setup for some larger arc this was still a very enjoyable read, the general shenanigans that the mercenaries get up to providing both humour and plenty of action!
