Galactic Resurgence #2
Warfront Borinthia
The jungle war is over, but the real war has begun. And most of those fighting it have no idea why.
Warfront Borinthia is the second book of an epic military science-fiction series from international bestselling author Douglas E. Richards and U.S. Army armored forces veteran J.T. Merrick.
In a galaxy-spanning Empire suddenly fighting for its existence, a black-ops unit is inserted onto an occupied world with orders to survive, disrupt, and wait for rescue from a navy that may never come. The soldiers on the team were enemies only months ago. Now a corporal from Earth’s underclass, a veteran NCO, and a commander the galaxy believes is dead must operate among civilians who can’t be trusted and hostile aliens who don’t think like men.
As the body count rises and the team is hunted through forests and farms, they stumble onto a secret that could change the balance of the entire war—making them the most valuable, and most hunted, men on the planet.
They were sent to soften a world. They may have found a way to end a war.
Or start one that’s far worse.
Warfront Borinthia is a relentless military sci-fi thriller packed with breakneck action, unexpected twists, and profound questions about loyalty, revenge, and what a species will do when extinction is on the table.

Easier for me
This second book was easier to read for me. I believe I got the confidence to understand the names and the unusual words locked into my brain so it was definitely much easier read. Lots of twists and turns which is always welcome.
