Commonwealth intelligence has hatched a harebrained scheme. The mission: take out the TOG command center on the other side of Caralis by sending a small strike force over the southern pole. Success could turn the tide of war on Caralis, but failure means certain doom for the troops involved. Prefect Kenderson of the Renegade 2567th Provisional Legion draws the assignment. Once again he activates Cohort Harras, this time sending the unit to the pole for a wide-ranging, arctic battle with TOG gray armor, penal infantry, and traitors within its own ranks!
It has been a very long time since I read this. A friend loaned me the book and I have been wanting to pick up a copy of my own for years now.
The story is basic coming of age in the military fair with a shaky beginning. It transitions fairly well into the adventure portion of and as I recall it had a good ending. I can tell you, for a young man in his twenties, this book was great fun.
