The Confederated Worlds lost the war.
Can Lt. Tomas Neumann win the peace?
By the terms of the peace treaty, the citizens of the planet Arden will vote to stay in the Confederated Worlds or join the victorious Progressive Republic.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Great combination of combat action and political intrigue. The characters are believable, and you can root for them. Soldiers who are not superheroes but feel like real people with concerns and who feel the effects of combat and loss. Planetary politics that are understandable and feel real. Well worth your time.

Great book, great action
The protagonist from the first novel in the series, Tomas, continues his journey as a newly commissioned officer. He leads his group well and the action and plot are superb. Highly recommended!
