Task Force 7
Humanity and the Highborn smashed the cyborgs in the Solar System. But the machine men have a long-term plan to regain everything they’ve lost. They will slip away into the wider galaxy from their secret base on Tyche in the Oort cloud. They will go to a nearby star system to rebuild and return stronger than ever.
The Sunbeam can’t reach into the Oort cloud. A spaceship will take three years to reach the cyborg base. Despite the distance, Marten Kluge orders Task Force 7 to make the lonely trek.
In the Oort cloud, the cyborgs spring a trap. Now, in the darkness far from home, the last Space Marines enter their insertion pods for the methane-icy surface. They plan to sell their lives if they must in order to end the cyborg menace forever.
Previously published in the anthology Planetary Assault.

I was born in Canada and remember as a small boy crawling in my snow-fort. I closed my eyes, and when I tried to open them, they were frozen shut. I didn't panic, but wiped away the ice crystals, unglued my eyes and kept on building my tunnel. Those were great days! I moved to Central California before seventh grade and couldn't believe I lived in a land where oranges grew on trees and you could pick grapes from the vine.
I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, what kind of work specifically. I was miserable not knowing and bordering on desperate. Then one day a friend gave me his typewriter. I began working on a novel. A different person told me it was much easier on a computer, so I bought one and began getting up at 4:30 A.M. each morning before work, writing for three hours. My eyes were unglued once again as the pang of misery left my gut. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: write. So now that's what I do, I write, and write, and write, and I love it.
