The story is about a guy that retired to his home world and a reporter is looking in to solders that had seem to disappeared from the records. He was the emperor's bodyguard or something like that. The Reporter ends up coming to his ranch and they are attacked and as they are escaping he has flashbacks to his time in the military.
Thanks samuelmichaels but that is not it. For some reason I think the locals call the planet mud.
Just on an off chance, I did a quick search for mud and bodyguard. Lots of hits, but the first one was... wait for it...
Ka Hmnd's Emperor's Bodyguard
🤔
I did the same search and came up with that too. LOL I looked at the rest but none were what I was looking for. Not sure what else to put in it.
Something else I remember is he retired because he was protecting emperors daughter when she jump in front of him and got shot.
You're looking for "Retired"
by Brootforce AKA Sean M. Campbell
It's unfinished and I have no idea where it may be found.
I have a copy of that - no idea where I got it from - but it's 11 chapters and the preamble says it's complete. I'm wondering about the 'CAW 21' competition also mentioned in the preamble.
My copy is without a preamble. Like yours it has 11 chapters, I guess I had a CRS attack as my chapter 11 concludes with END as well.
The site also had CAW 2, CAW 16 and CAW 17.
I looked for CAW 21 but never found it.
This was his last blog from 2022.
I had another person steal a book, once more it was Deputy Morpheus. I contacted Amazon and they removed the book. This has been one reason I have stopped publishing my books and yes, I have continued to write and have dozens of new books.
