The Suicide Arc follows Suicide and the six (later seven) Children of Amargosa in the decade following the Liberation of Amargosa. Suicide mentors her “Chosen Children” as they step into the adult world. Three will go to the Compact. Three more will stay with the newly formed Republic/Foundation, and one will leave a leadership role to do the work she dreamed of since childhood. They will grow from stumbling new adults to leaders and fighters in their own right.
Suicide Run – When Jayne Best disappears and her newborn is left in Suicide’s care, Cui Yun and JT Austin are pulled back into service to unravel a deeper conspiracy. Their search leads through shattered colonies, political limbo, and a brutal assault on the Thulian Enclave—revealing threats far beyond Amargosa’s borders.
Checkmate – A covert boarding operation shatters the uneasy peace as Suicide, JT, and Mitsuko scramble to extract a king, a queen-in-waiting, and the truth behind a devastating betrayal. The sabotage of the Marcus Aurelius marks the arc’s most brutal blow to Compact command since the Liberation.
Royal Orders – When an assassination attempt rocks King Edward Windsor’s diplomatic mission, Mitsuko Yamato is dispatched to investigate the growing threat of radical Cubist terrorism. Her journey leads her from the streets of Belsham to the sweltering jungles of Aphrodite, where she reunites with Suicide and faces off against a rogue zealot bent on divine war. As the Children of Amargosa rally to her side, Mitsuko leads a final assault on Mt. Buxanshal to stop the spread of fanaticism—and discovers how deep the rot has grown within the Compact’s fragile peace.
Another Way to Die – Cybercommand agent Eric Yuwono dismantles JunoCorp on Bromdar and uncovers a bioengineered virus tied to the attack on President ibn-Aziz. His mission continues on Hosh, where he assumes a false identity to trace Juno’s deeper operations beyond Compact space.
Suicide Gambit – Suicide Gambit follows Suicide, JT Austin, and Tishla as they race to reclaim Hanar from a violent insurgency. With the planet’s fragile human–Gelt alliance unraveling, the trio must navigate Realm politics, buried trauma, and personal sacrifice—culminating in a desperate bid for legitimacy, justice, and survival. As the Sovereign Himself descends to settle the crisis, the line between duty and identity blurs, and a hasty wedding may determine the fate of an entire world.
