Always have an escape plan.

Three years ago Caspian Robeaux refused a direct order from his captain to fire on a civilian population. Since then he’s been court-martialed, jailed, sentenced to a work camp and almost killed. Only a genius or someone with incredible luck could have made it this far with all his parts intact, and Cas knows he’s not that smart.

Now he’s escaped, living on some backwater planet drinking the days away with a robot who won’t shut up. His refuge is short-lived, however, when raiders invade the planet and steal what little he’s scavenged. His only choice now is to return and face his captors, or take his fate into his own hands, and do whatever is necessary to survive. Will he sacrifice all he believes if it means getting out alive?

Fate’s Arrow: Robeaux is the first novella in the INFINITY’S END LEGACY series, a group of one-shot stories about the characters from INFINITY’S END. Each book in the series can be read in any order and is perfect for new readers or fans of the series. Grab your copy today!

it's an excellent introduction to your main characters for the Infinity's End series. Would have enjoyed this, before I read the complete series and it provides just enough on the characters to get you to like them. Although Box, would definitely get on my nerves. I do recommend this along with the entire Infinity's End series as a very pleasant diversion. Reminds me a little of the Stainless Steel Rat series of books written by Harry Harrison which began in the late 50's and continued for decades. Cheers,

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to an engaging series!
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
The start of an enjoyable sci-fi series.
One of the elements I particularly liked (see quoted text below) was how the author, Eric Warren, used Urglan’s observation to show that the Coalition embraced diversity - like Star Trek and like we humans should do!
“But as they walked, he was impressed by the size of the transitways. His own ship used every available space to the utmost efficiency. This ship seemed to revel in an excess of open space. At first, he wondered why, it wasn’t as if humans were any larger than Karkurians, but then he recalled. It wouldn’t have just been humans on this ship. The Coalition had all manner of species that served on these; the size of the corridors was probably a reflection of that.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Another exceptional book in the Infinity’s End Saga!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021
Fate’s Arrow: Robeaux is the start of a short story series that looks at the history of one of the main characters from the Infinity’s End Saga, and to start the series off of course is Cas and Box.
This is a Novella, so it is a short story, but Warren manages to pack a lot into this adventure, giving us not only some extra insight into Cas, and just as interestingly, we get to learn a lot about Box to.
The story starts not long after Cas has jumped ship from the Coalition, having stolen a Coalition shuttle with Box and headed to Sargan space.
They are currently on Froma, a Sargan controlled world, and whilst trying to work out a plan to get off world, Froma is raided by a rival Warlord, and the shuttle, and everything they own is taken, leaving Cas in a desperate position.
From here, we get to really understand what happened to Cas, in a way, what turned him to the Sargan way.
This is a really intriguing story from the very start, as whilst we have read about the Sargan Commonwealth previously, in Caspian’s Fortune, Cas had been part of the Commonwealth for some time, and was well entrenched in its ways.
Whilst at the start of this story, we get to see a Cas that is new to it all, and although he has an understanding of how things are done in Sargan space, he is still a Coalition Citizen, a Coalition Officer, not yet willing to cross those boundaries and do the things that really keep you alive and thriving in the Commonwealth.
The Infinity’s End Saga – whether it is the original series, the current ‘Stellar Outlaw’ series, or this new Short Story series, have all had a deep, gritty psychological edge to them, delving into the psyche of each of the characters to truly understand what makes them tick, what they are thinking, and both their intellectual and emotional motivations as they work their way through these incredible stories. Warren’s characters have been a true highlight of each and every one of the books in this series, and Fate’s Arrow: Robeaux is no exception.
The other aspect of these stories that has been beyond exceptional, is the Galaxy/World building, which has been so complex and intricate, bringing to life minute details of the smallest characters, to the biggest cities and starships, each getting just as much attention. Warren is brilliant in his ability to describe stunning cityscapes etc, bringing them to life, without taking up whole pages, and with a couple of words, letting us know what a Robot, with no facial expressions, is thinking of Cas without uttering a word, but with just a look. The depth of world building is just magnificent, and is one of the very special qualities of these books, that make it an absolute standout to so many other Sci-Fi series.
It would not be a Cas Robeaux story without Box, and he is here in all his glory in this particular short story. This is before he sort of matures a bit on the Tempest, so the commentary from him is just priceless, and it must have been hilarious for Warren, sitting there writing the dialogue (I’m sure he was giggling to himself!) Box is easily one of the best characters in this series, and just adds so much hilarity to scenes that you just should not be laughing at.
Overall, this is another exceptional story in the Saga, and if you love the series, you will absolutely want to read this as it adds so much to the mythology surrounding Cas and Box, as well as background of the Sargan Commonwealth.
I can’t wait for the next book on Diazal!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Has coarse language used
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
The two main characters go from being poor and stuck on a desert like planet to having what little they owned, including the broken ship they lived on, stolen. Every thought Cas had was to getting a space-worthy ship and leaving.
Overall I found the story to be very good and slightly humorous, especially the character Box. Box is sentient which nobody really believed could happen.

He must return but what will now be his fate.

I listened to all the Infinity's End books and I wanted more, but there were no more audio books so I began reading the other stories. I have never been a reader, but Eric's books have turned me into an avid reader. Fate's Arrow is a great prequel and was everything I hoped for. I would recommend anything this author has written.

A fun and exciting read! Like getting back together with friends I hadn't seen in a while and I didn't realize how much I missed them. This was extra fun too, having read other books in the series, because I got to guess some of the characters that popped up or things that would happen (and finally was able to get some right!).

4.0 out of 5 stars A prequel, to which there is also a prequel.
Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2021

I was only into The Infinity’s End saga as far as Book #2 – Tempest Rising – when the Infinity’s End Legacy novellas started showing up. Maybe that was good luck for me, as “Fate’s Arrow – Robeaux” is a prequel to the series.
This was a worthy inclusion for the Infinity’s End series. It provides satisfying depth and detail to Caspian Robeaux’s role prior to the novel Caspian’s Fortune, where he did his best to work in the employ of a criminal organization while struggling to maintain his moral values. The robot – Box – pulls his own weight throughout, and has become one of my favourite characters.
(If you have had a chance to meet / read about Box, and enjoyed the experience, I recommend to you G. Gockel’s Archangel Project, now up to nine novels, and the robot 6T9, who has taken a much larger role as the series moves ahead. There is also Richard Parry’s Tyche universe, where the robot – Alphonse – became a major character in Tyche’s Ghosts.)
Meanwhile, I purchased the second of the Infinity’s End Legacy series – Fate’s Arrow: Diazal, pre-ordered Fate’s Arrow– Greene, and while checking out Warren’s current listings on Amazon, pre-ordered Fate’s Arrow– Box. Honestly, Box’s story should have been the first one.
And to help you with maintaining the Infinity’s End timeline – there is a prequel to the Fate’s Arrow – Robeaux prequel: Caspian’s Gambit – which has joined my backlog (but much anticipated) of books due to Eric Warren’s prequel-biased imagination.

Maybe there hadn’t been a purpose behind my creation and maybe there were no others like me out there. But that just meant I could create my own purpose.
I was going to create my own destiny.”
—BOX: Unit 80x19.

The long awaited release is here at last! The answers to questions of Box’s Origins and how he came to be a sentient bot are finally revealed! It has been a long wait but worth it!

It’s a mixture of fun and emotional, with ups and downs, and twist and turns, it’s like being on a roller coaster! I’m laughing and crying, this premise has really pulled at my heart strings. Not to mention the heart stopping scenes and fast paced action! Lol. Eric Warren has really, really outdone himself with this instalment! El Maestro shows his mastery and dominion of psychology and sense of humour. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !
It has been an infinite pleasure to read Infinity’s End series, a magnificent world building. And with it the suspense, intrigue and exciting anticipation of a need to know more. Oh, Eric could have written these Origins stories before Infinity’s End, but it would not have been the same! I’m so glad he released them now instead of before the main series! Yes, it seems I’m a masochist, but only with books! Lol. What an amazing and exciting and fun read! I highly recommend this Origins series!

I know that it is just the beginning of the series but there was a lacking of background information. So, I have no basis on whether the story is. Anyways, what three me off was "boomcannon", should it be plasmabolter or ionpulser. He is a Commander, he could repair complex machines but he calls it a boomcannon? I don't think so. Still it was ok. Thanks.

A very easy read wth lots of comings and goings. I loved the taking sides and the subterfuge. None of which I will tell you about, of course.

Box and Caspian's relationship is not quite what we readers are used to, as they are sort of sounding each other out being new, so they are a wee bit reserved. Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, I did say "reserved" and "Box" in the same sentence.

Very enjoyable piece of work and I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
