Combat vets David Sherman and Dan Cragg know firsthand the courage, sacrifice, andhell of war—and their experiences have made the popular Starfist novels thrill ridesof the highest order. Now the explosive action continues on the remote planet Ravenette,where the Marines of the Confederation’s 34th Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) findthemselves up against a full-fledged rebellion–and a lethally loose cannon of a commandingofficer.
Desperate to thwart unrelenting aliens and their quest to obliterate humankind,The Confederation has beefed up its defenses. But to the citizens on the outer edgesof Human Space around Ravenette—unaware that a deadly enemy even exists—the government’s move seems oppressive, and ten planets have responded with a war of secession.
In touch-and-go battles with the seceding planets, the 34th FIST has emerged batteredbut unbowed, refusing to give up . . . even while under the command of a fanaticalgeneral. The enemy determined to strike, a new mission must be carried out, thoughthe troops will likely return in body bags.
Should Ensign Charlie Bass and his Marinessomehow survive the nightmarishly difficult amphibious landing, they can expect tobe outmanned, outgunned, and out-armored in a fierce duel against fresh like any Marine worth his salt, Bass knows there’s only one way to go when facingimpossible odds: on the offense with all guns firing. There’s no other choice—becauseif life was easy, there’d be no need to send in the Marines.
