The Complete Dead Force Trilogy This omnibus edition of the Dead Force Trilogy contains all three books: Sandman, Lockdown and Firefight.
Tag is a man without a past and a bad future.
Waking up in a chamber full of half a million sleepers is bound to confuse anyone, but learning you're on a spaceship hurtling through the universe will really ruin your day.
Book One: Sandman Finding over a million sleepers on three arks, an infestation of space fleas, and no idea how he or the squad got there, Tag is having a bad day. Uncovering the truth proves more bizarre than he could have guessed, but never one to pass up a challenge, Tag decides revenge is the best course of action.
Book Two: Lockdown In search of the truth, Tag and his squad head to Earth where they learn just how far they are from where they started. Realizing they’re not entirely blameless for what happened to the world, Tag desperately looks for a way to gain the upper hand against enemy aliens he can’t even find.
Book Three: Firefight War is about real estate and, with Jessica near death, Tag is running out of time to reclaim even a small part of his country. The Dead Force are willing, but Tag must find a way to steal what he needs from the aliens to turn them into an effective fighting force. Determined to slam a stake in the ground and declare it his, Tag raises his bet, but it just might be a step too far.
Dead Force series is the latest in the SD Tanner collection. It’s a wild ride through space, filled with cool tech, mad aliens, and a stubborn squad refusing to quit.

Definitely a different concept from other books of this genre. It starts well setting a scene of elite soldiers who have been genetically and physically altered to make them a superior fighting force which can be brought back to life time and again via special pods aboard their spacecraft. Thinking they were the guard for specialist set of settlers looking for a life sustaining planet, it turns out that the majority of the sleeping passengers are actually food for an alien species,the elite soldiers have to try to remember their pasts and reevaluate their future plans. The second book introduces the aliens who are using the passenger manifest as a food supply, a people trafficker, a friendly species of lizard type creatures and the discovery of floating alien cities which bring their own unique problems. This second book has too much change with much not explained it rather spoils the ppl plus points from book 1. The last book is a mixture of the previous books but little is explained until very near the end. This rather spoils the read which was a disappointment. From a quick summary of the next 4 books, it appears to be a continuation of the first three books so much so that I doubt if I will read any more. A missed opportunity by the author but maybe a future revision of the series would make it a more attractive proposition
A great read, and I am loving both the premise and the central characters. It's an unusual story-line but I like it and it's fast-paced, entertaining and well written.
