“What?” The Mayor of the minor state of Jurgenson smashed his fist into the desk. “Explain to me again why you won’t fight, after you’ve taken our money to do just that!”

The mercenary representative sighed, having already been through it all once.


“You hire us, Tiger’s Lance to fight your enemy. That’s straight forward. Your enemies hired another mercenary unit to defend themselves and to attack you. We Tiger’s Lance have a pre-existing agreement with that other company, Baker’s Battalion. Our agreement with Baker’s is a credit for credit withdrawal contract based on standard rates. That means that for every ten thousand you’ve paid us, and every matching ten thousand paid to Baker’s by their client, we both withdraw one man from the fight.”


The Mayor leant meaningfully across the desk. “And you’re the only mercenary left in the city.”


“Yes, that’s right. Baker’s still have quite a few men in the field, I can’t tell you how many of course, that’s part of our agreement with Baker’s.”


“We paid you millions of credits! Enough for an army, and we’ve only got you.” The Mayor’s face was growing redder.


“Well, yes, but I’m here in name only.”

The Mayor froze in place for a second. “In name only?”

“Obviously I’m here as a token, to indicate our involvement.”

The Mayor picked up the heavy brass name plate off his desk, hefted it. “What bloody involvement? You’ve no men. You, won’t fight!. You might as well not be here!”


“Not true sir.” The representative raised his palms towards the mayor and started backing towards the door. “The absence of our fighting forces and my presence have significantly reduced the forces opposing you.”

The Mayor stalked around the table, the name plate held high.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
