The Mercenary Librarians series (also sometimes known as The Silver Devils series) is a series being published by Tor Publishing! Set after futuristic solar flares, it takes place in the southeast United States, following a trio of post-apocalyptic mercenary librarians who join forces with a squad of elite super-soldiers to chase a treasure…and maybe change the world.
It is currently complete at three novels, though we may revisit the community in the future to tell more stories!
While this series is set in the same world as Beyond and Gideon’s Riders, they have very little overlap with only a few easter eggs for fans. You can easily read this before or after the other series.
Kind of like if someone hired Dystopian Captain America to kidnap Post-Apocalyptic Wonder Woman, and then they fell in love and turned their respective found families into the Justice Avengers. Also they bang in a thunderstorm.
