The cyborg commandos of the Galactic Marines are the greatest warriors in the galaxy, but sometimes one will go bad. Too unstable to be let back into the general population and too powerful for a normal prison to hold them, there is only one place they can be Planet Leviathan. Stacia X-79 has been tried and convicted of trying to kill her commanding officer. Now, trapped on the planet that nobody can leave, she's on a mission of revenge. Nothing can get in her way, not the bizarre monsters roaming the surface, not the insane military commander who has set herself up as the local warlord, and not the seismic forces of the planet itself. She will find the son of the person who sent her here, and she will kill him. Even if it means giving up her own life.
So much current military science fiction is so focused on realism that they forget that tales of adventure are supposed to be fun. Well, Planet Leviathan fun old school science fiction with modern unique characters and plenty of extraterrestrial adventure. Goodman tells a yarn of a tale, quick and sharp and full of action. The tale is just over the top enough to keep you interested without jumping too far into cheesy pulp.
