The Kurgan War #5
Ghost Company
As the war grinds on, Captain Sheridan and Master Sergeant Cole find themselves assigned to look after Komada, a Chosen defector. With a religious fervor Komada inspires more Chosen warriors to take up arms against their former citizens. Pushed by his superiors, Sheridan must get these soldiers ready to undertake hazardous missions in Kurgan space. Deeply suspicious of Komada's motives, Sheridan and Cole are not sure if he and his disciples can be trusted. With Earth about to take the offensive, the members of the Ghost Company are about to find out if they are able to take the war to their home worlds.

Good Read
Book 1 and this are, IMO, the 2 best of series. Military kinda means organized units, camadre, equipment / weapon mix n application +++. Unfortunately author puts his MCs thru situations that are cowboy. 2 of the other books, they're in independent command where they're looking for terrorists, etc.
Call me old school, old fashion but military is fire tms, squads, platoons .... task organized to locate and destroy OpFor.
Author,overall, does fine job with battles, weapons and some of the tactics. Character development OK w some good dialogue. Too bad he feels that a Capt n Mstr Sgt are best utilized as independent operators of sorts going on some questionable, credible missions. What happened to Seals, Green Berets, CIA, etc doing what they're supposed to be doing and have marines operate as infantry companies.
That way, when I get book that's mil, not spec ops which I usually take a pass, won't get disappointed. BTW, because of descriptions I did not get books 3 n 4 because they were spec ops which usually turns into super hero(s) take on n destroy zillions of bad guys. Very credible stuff.

Good read.
This was another good one ,the poor guys and women seem to have some bad luck on their side this time . I'm a veteran so trust me when I say that they have a bad luck streak going . Anyway it was action packed from start to finish . So I'm on to the next one. Oh when I say that they have bad luck going , they must have some good luck to because they keep getting out alive.

Civil war?
Captain Sheridan is back rescuing Earth and Terran space from the Kurgan and their Chosen fighters. A lot of the story covers the fanatic religion of the Kurgan and a new charismatic leader.
An exciting and introspective episode.
