In the unforgiving deserts of Mars and the steamy jungles of Venus, the highlands of an Solara, the mines of Mercury and the Rings of Saturnn, Red Dust, Steam, and Glory weaves a gripping tapestry of sacrifice, defiance, and the indomitable human spirit. Set in an alternate 19th-century solar system where colonial powers clash with ancient alien civilizations, this epic anthology follows soldiers, medics, and outcasts fighting not just for survival, but for honor in a universe that demands it. From the embattled legation of Helios on Mars, where Captain James Archer and his outnumbered Marines face a Martian uprising under the shadow of sacred ruins, to the mist-shrouded canals of Venus, where Commander Ross Weatherby leads a ragtag squadron of steam skimmers against a relentless rebellion, these stories pulse with raw courage and moral complexity. On Solara, Dr. Calla Dene and her team at Fort Saint Alexis hold a trauma hospital against a fanatical holy war, raising a red banner that becomes a beacon of hope and defiance. Blending steampunk grit with cosmic stakes, Red Dust, Steam, and Glory explores the cost of loyalty, the weight of memory, and the fragile bridges built between worlds. Perfect for fans of alternate history, military sci-fi, and tales of resilience in the face of impossible odds, this collection will leave you breathless, inspired, and haunted by the echoes of battles fought for something greater than victory.Red Dust and HonorSteam & Glory: They Were ExpendableBoots in the Dust: A Martian Rifleman's StoryThe Red Flag of SolaraIron Skies of MercuryThe Silent Rings of Saturn
