Contractor Part 1 (a novella series)

Damon Wright was a Commando.
A very good one, actually.
Genetically modified, indoctrinated from birth, equipped with the best weapons and gear to take the fight to the Federation's enemies.
He was part of the most successful unit in a war machine renowned for its brutality.
They slaughtered the enemy in the last war, as though they could drown the galaxy in blood, and were granted their own world in recognition of their achievements.

But that was a long time ago.

Now Damon's eking out a living, taking 2 bit contracts in the outer colonies, keeping his head down and paying the bills.
He is convincing himself that he is lucky, convincing himself that he is on top of his game.
If anyone asked, he would say he was content with being just another contractor. He's thankful to be alive, if he's honest with himself.
It could have been a lot worse.
It will be a lot worse.
