Description
When war breaks out after a century of peace, it is sudden and brutal. Earth's far-flung colonies are caught off guard, and their survival hangs in the balance.
The only son of an admiral, Second Lieutenant Michael Sheridan finds himself at the forefront of a desperate conflict that tests his skills as a commander. With the help of Staff Sergeant Cole, a veteran Marine, Sheridan must lead his inexperienced soldiers into battle against a ruthless and determined enemy.
As the war rages on, Sheridan learns harsh lessons about the nature of conflict and the true meaning of survival. This gripping novel takes readers on a journey from the ground to the stars, exploring the human cost of war through the eyes of those caught up in it.
