For a Cadre Operator, there is no retirement but death.
Thompson, Argo, and Beckert limp back to Cadre One in a stolen transport. The reconnaissance mission to occupied Earth has left them broken, barely alive. But the truth they discovered beneath the rotted concrete of Washington, D.C. cuts deeper than Blueskin knives...
In the terabytes of raw data from Earth, Cadre Techs find evidence of another covert research station called, ‘Cadre Two.’ If it exists, could it have escaped the genocide like Cadre One? Could there be survivors?
Cadre Operators quietly don their gear and prepare for rotation. Beneath their stoic exteriors, they know Cadre Two could be a burned out shell. Or, it could be a trove of lost technologies, possibly a refuge should the ancient machinery at Cadre One fail...
...if the saffron-eyed alien hasn’t found it first.
Start with 'Angry Ghosts' continue with 'Black Hawks from a Blue Sun' and end with 'The Exhausted Dead'. Wonderful trilogy and I hope a fourth is on its way. Si-Fi at its finest and well worth the read. A story of Elite troops developed when the earth was destroyed. It is none stop action, adventure and science. You will easily become invested in the characters and the story line. Some of it can be very shocking, gore wise, yet still a great read. If you like outer space drama and adventure read the series, you won't be sorry. [[ASIN:B00AG3KRO0 The Exhausted Dead (Angry Ghosts)]]
An amazing conclusion to an already very good story line, each and every one of the turns and twists was very well executed. The book is double the size of the second volume, so I was fearing some boredom, but each chapter kept me so much in grips that I jus just had to read that one little next chapter...
I really really hope that I can sleep the nights now instead of reading until exhaustion :-)
