Ripples of Aggression
From shortly after mankind first traveled to the stars, mercenaries have been both a plague and a savior to everything from small outposts to massive multi-planetary alliances. Denigrated by most, until they are needed, mercs form the backbone of the Universe. For love them or hate them, there is no question humanity would have surly lost the Machine Wars without mercenaries and the ultra powerful organization licensing them, Association Independent Mercenaries. Since then, the power of A.I.M. has only continued to grow.
For a teenager, traveling the stars as a mercenary dependent, danger and loss are constant threats. However, the adventure
and challenges are counterbalances. The expectation to become a unit member, while still being a child, cannot easily be shouldered. For no one, especially a child, can be touched by war without being altered.
The arrival in the Jakarta system comes with new challenges for the kids of the Blood Brawlers, but nothing they were unaccustomed to, or so they thought. Would a lifetime of being a 'merc brat' allow one teen to regain redemption from a haunted past or would ripples of former aggressions be the downfall of not only himself, but those who suddenly need to count on his lifelong lessons and scars that can only come with being an A.I.M. dependent?

Excellent Read
The story flows easily and the action is non stop. Parts of the story are a tad predictable but a great read.

I've been following this author on a website for a few years, now. That's why when that website pointed to his first offering on Amazon, I didn't hesitate to pay. I consider it money well spent. I enjoy his AIM stories and hope he finishes Broke and O'Connell's Grenadiers on the website or publishes them via Amazon.
