about this book: "Return of the Archon" is the fifth book in the Omega Force series and continues the adventures of the 6-member mercenary crew as they work along the sparsely populated fringe worlds as hired guns.

In this book we learn someone on the crew is not who he claims to be and the implications of that are far more broad than just how it affects the team. They soon find themselves in the middle of a centuries long blood feud that seems to be ready to explode into civil war at any moment and all the while there are events unfolding that lead Captain Jason Burke to believe that there is more at play than just internal politics and it seems he and his crew are the targets.

As I move along in this series I've realized that no matter how hard I try to make the stories action-centric they always seem to come down to these six guys and their relationships with each other. In this fifth book I wanted to explore the past of one of the most popular characters a little more as well as give some insight into the motivations of the others. I also wanted to give the readers the sense that all the little threads that have been running through all of the books will soon be coming to a head.
