The Shock Trooper
Humanity has colonized the Milky Way and its first encounter with an old alien race has not been peaceful.
The merciless Seisossa, a lizard-like race, seem to have humans at the top of their menu. But the brave men and women of the Imperial Marines throw themselves against the attackers every day to protect the human colonies from the horrors that wait in the dark.
Among them is Captain John James Johnson. His preferred area of operation is the frontline. No mission is too hot for him, no obstacle too big. The word "impossible" does not exist in his vocabulary. With his renowned valor and straightforwardness, he is the Empire’s first choice for the hardest missions.
His life and that of his unit suddenly take a dangerous turn when the Empress sends them on a secret mission that will decide the fate of the Empire, and may just end the war with the Seisossa at the same time.
But there are other forces in the universe. Forces of which no human and no other species have a clue. And what John James Johnson doesn’t know yet, is that he and his comrades have been sent into a breach that could tear the whole galaxy apart.

The Alien Within👽🐺💪🔫🗡
Military Sci-fi💫🚀In Space. ADULT Oriented.
John James Johnson🐺💪🔫🗡 follows in his dad's footsteps to become a military officer fighting the enemy lizards🐊 in space.
Unfortunately, dad has been missing in space for ten years and presumed dead.
John🐺💪🔫🗡 likes the front lines of fighting, leading soldiers in combat. Suffering severe injuries, he some how recovers and comes back even stronger. He now has an edge, an alien inhabits his body and helps him become even more than he can be!
Lots of gore and violent scenes plus some suggestive ADULT affairs probably make this more written for the adult reader.
Book 1 in a 3 book📚 series.
I got this e-book from Amazon📚 with Kindle Unlimited

The shock trooper forged in war book one, an excellent military, sci-fi addition to the genre.
Enjoy this book very much, very fast paste, good world building, excellent military science-fiction. The MC doesn’t take himself too seriously but the story is very well done and self-contained in this first book. I will go and read the additional books as the author writes them. Don’t let this one pass you buy if you like military science-fiction aliens space battles you’ll enjoy this book.

The Shock Trooper is a decidedly old-school military space opera that harkens back to E. E. “Doc” Smith: Hunky hero, beautiful empress, cannibalistic lizards, and an in-your-head AI that doesn’t just think it is God—enough said?
