Packed with hard-core action written by battle-savvy combat
veterans, the explosive Starfist series has become hugely popular
across America. Now the saga of the courageous Marines continues in
Flashfire, " "as the 34th Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) ventures
to the edge of Human Space to fight a number of enemies . . . some
on their own side.
Tensions erupt between the Confederation and several frontier
worlds when civilians are shot dead at an army base on the planet
Ravenette. Enraged, the Ravenette government and nine neighboring
planets form a coalition, and their first act of secession is to
overrun Ravenette's Confederation garrison. With the armed forces
of ten worlds seizing the brutal upper hand, the embattled troops
need help-now-and they need it bad.
Enter the Marines of the 34th FIST. As the nearest ready-to-deploy
unit, the team is sent to Ravenette with orders to hold the line
until reinforcements arrive. The upcoming operation promises to be
no picnic, for while sophisticates may ridicule the backward ways
of the uncouth frontier folk, no one scoffs at their fighting
ability.
Charlie Bass doesn't mince words for his men in Company L's third
platoon. Two army divisions-perhaps thirty thousand soldiers-are
being overwhelmed, and somebody expects a thousand Marines to save
the day. As pompous Confederation generals wreak even more havoc
than the enemy, there are those who call the mission suicide . . .
but not the Marines.
Of course it sounds hopeless, but for Marines like Charlie Bass and
the rest of the 34th FIST, accomplishing the impossible comes with
the territory.
