Reader Review: Great read for any Sci Fi fan or casual fiction reader. Non-stop action has you hooked from the very beginning. Awesome development of Characters, especially Sergeant Kaleb Taylor, with whom the reader forms a strong connection through his various trials and hardships. Interesting and realistic Sci Fi universe created by Opilla. He also goes into detail on the physics of space combat and how it impacts the Marines fighting on the ground in hazardous conditions. He effectively creates a realistic feeling space combat environment throughout the novel which, as a hardcore sci fi reader, I definitely appreciated. Dialogue between the Marines during combat was very realistic and helped to deeply engross the reader in the events taking place. This novel is easy to visualize as being made into a movie. Easy to read and understand, recommend to all fiction fans.
It is the 22nd Century and mankind has achieved wormhole space travel; colonizing several nearby planets in the Milky Way galaxy. The United Star Systems now struggles to provide a unified system of government for Earth and its colonies amidst civil war, rampant piracy, and slaver raids. Meanwhile, Kaleb Taylor, an ordinary kid from a farming colony, is placed directly into the mayhem of the interstellar conflict against his will. With his home destroyed and no other options but to enlist in the United Star Systems military, he volunteers to undergo the most intense training available in order to become a Recon Marine. Soon thereafter, Kaleb and his elite platoon find themselves on the high-tech front lines of battle with a new, powerful, intergalactic enemy that threatens to destroy all of humanity. Earth and the colonial governments must now decide whether to set aside old grudges and unite under the United Star Systems banner to defend against this mysterious enemy, or face certain annihilation.

Reviewer:
As a casual sci fi reader, I have to say that this newly released title had me hooked from beginning to end. I literally did not put it down until 120 pages into it and that was only because I had to go to work! Great high-tech feel to it as well as detailed and accurate military operation scenes. Awesome character development throughout, showing the strong bonds formed between the marines in the platoon it follows. Dialogue was totally believeable and realistic with some good humor injected into it at the right times. Overall an exciting, action packed story that is easy to read and understand with great characters to follow. Totally worth the purchase!
