Line 37: The story picks up roughly a year after George Bear's first own mercenary mission (as narrated in the [[Erster Kontrakt|preceding novel]]). It narrates the growth and evolution of his unit, the [[Biting Bear's Bashes]], into a 'Mech lance plus conventional scout forces and an extensive intelligence gathering arm through a number of episodes, with events on [[Outreach]], the [[Mercenary's Star (hiring hall)|Mercenary's Star]], in between. Some missions are only mentioned in passing. The story picks up roughly a year after George Bear's first own mercenary mission (as narrated in the [[Erster Kontrakt|preceding novel]]).
