About the Book

A writing duo of armed services veterans pens the ninth action-packed military science fiction adventure featuring 25th century space-faring Marines of the 34th Fleet Initial Strike Team battling alien enemies on a futuristic frontier.

Book Synopsis

It's the 25th century, but the Marines are still looking for a few good men. . . .

In their fiercest combat yet, the hard-charging Marines of 34th Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) have finally won their battle against a fullscale alien invasion of planet Kingdom. But as citizens try to return to some semblance of normalcy, the old government is replaced by a ruthless new regime.

Meanwhile, in a cave in some forgotten Kingdom backwater, several humans slowly regain consciousness. Their minds have been probed repeatedly . . . by whom and for what reason they cannot say, for they've been stripped of all memories of themselves and their past lives. These half-dead outcasts begin a journey into the unknown-- in search of civilization, in search of themselves. And one survivor's journey will take him to places of overwhelming danger, where his identity will be revealed--to the shock of all.

"Non-stop action . . . This is state-of-the-art military SF."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
