The hugely popular Starfist saga featuring Marines at war in outer
space is the "only" military science fiction series written by real
combat vets: David Sherman and Dan Cragg. Now comes the explosive
hardcover debut of this series-packed with hell-torn action and
blazing adventure.
In their fiercest combat yet, the hard-charging Marines of 34th
Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) have finally won their battle
against a full-scale alien invasion of planet Kingdom. But victory
over these savage enemies comes at a terrible price, especially for
the Marines of Company L's decimated third platoon. The leader
these men would follow into hell itself-Gunnery Sergeant Charlie
Bass-was consumed in a fiery ambush that obliterated everything but
his dog tags and a few scraps of DNA.
On planet Kingdom, citizens try to return to some semblance of
normalcy as the military conducts patrols to search out and destroy
any remaining alien Skinks. The old government of squabbling
religious leaders has been replaced by a ruthless new regime. All
power rests with Dominic de Tomas, a depraved despot who will stoop
to any means to achieve his vile ends. His reign of terror bodes
ill for the fragile planet still reeling from the chaos of war.
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. In time wounds will heal, but who knows if they will ever
fully recover.
For now, finding food and water takes precedence. And so 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.
