It's the 24th century. God isn't dead yet. And Hell is just another word for war...
Religious fanaticism threatens final destruction for planet Zauberberg. The Church battles the Anti-Clericals for internal control of Triple Federation territory. Overhead, the unholy light of the Thorshammer asteroid shower begins to shine - disrupting global communications. And in the north country, the Game Master has trained a band of guerilla zealots to take bloody advantage of just this moment...
This is a job for the Peacekeepers. Once again, the Ark Royal offloads Sergeant Parkes and his commandos into a grueling megabattle. And this time, the Game Master is armed with more than firepower.
Roland James Green is an American science fiction and fantasy writer and editor. He has written as Roland Green and Roland J. Green; and had 28 books in the Richard Blade series published under the pen name 'Jeffrey Lord'.
Large cast of characters, two main storylines, demands attention but writing is good and delivers an interesting and sympathetic war story on a distant planet. Utilizes the fanatic religious warriors trope but doesn't disrespect the religious. Pretty solid read though hard to get into since this was book 3 of 3 and I didn't read books 1&2.
