MechWarrior brothers Morgan and Patrick Kell have successfully faced their first challenge in forming their new mercenary unit The Kell Hounds, toppling a criminal kingpin from atop his illegal empire on Galatea.
But while enjoying their recent success, the brothers Kell, along with the capital city of Galaport, come under threat by a new enemy-Bishop Arlington Poore, a religious zealot who wants to bring the entire planet under his repressive theocracy-and is willing to starve millions to do it.
Soon enough, the newly-formed Kell Hounds have their first job-put down this uprising as quickly as possible. But when a madman has converted thousands of civilians to his side, how will Morgan and Patrick quash his misguided crusade without shedding innocent blood?
