Introducing Paladin - Index of Chapters
I'm kicking off a new series here. I'll be continuing to post the remaining chapters of the Intrepid story as well, but last week I released the first eleven chapters of this story to some fans, and the feedback was amazing. Folks really loved this story! So I'm pushing ahead on this one, probably as a top priority.
What's the story about? Well, the title is a clue. I've drawn some of the vibe and idea from the old Paladin TV show, and other shows which followed the same theme of a lone wandering hero out to help people. Then I've blended in some elements from Firefly and Mandalorian, and...this is the result.
The story is set in the far future, where a Terran Empire has been dealing with internal strife for a long time, and in the process has let a lot of worlds slip from its grasp. Our hero is a woman who was a soldier in that war and fled the carnage, only to lose her memory as a result of terrible injuries. We open the story as she wakes on a world in the Fringe, a loose collection of independent systems and tiny kingdoms...
