Gunner - Elias Cross;Paul Joseph Dutton

Gunner (Non-illustrated edition)

Name's Gunner.
This is where my story begins.

I was trained to follow orders.
I was built to protect my men.

When those two collided, the world didn't bend.
It broke.

The mission was supposed to be routine. It never is. Somewhere between the briefing room and the breach point, trust was shattered and lines were crossed that can't be uncrossed. After that, nothing stayed clean - not the choices, not the consequences.

They say I disobeyed orders.
I say I did what had to be done.

That decision put me in chains and buried me inside a system designed to erase men like me. Inside, survival becomes currency. Violence becomes a language you learn fast or die trying to speak. Every day is measured in bruises, broken bones, and how long you stay upright.

While I was locked away, the world didn't stop.
It just went darker.

Beneath the surface, there's another war - a mercenary underworld where drugs, weapons, money, and blood move faster than the law ever could. No flags. No rules. Just contracts, debts, and men who vanish without leaving names behind.

When the door finally opens, it isn't freedom waiting. It's a different battlefield - one where loyalty is bought, betrayal is expected, and survival always comes with a price tag.

This isn't a story about heroes.
It's about brotherhood, crime, and what happens when soldiers stop fighting for governments and start fighting for each other.

Follow me and my men through the pages of this book.
Just don't pretend you weren't warned.
