A disgraced soldier seeks redemption in a pulse-pounding military science fiction thriller from the national bestselling author of the Special Ops Squad.
The year is 2804 AD. Humanity has colonized the universe. But the authority of the Confederation of Human Worlds is spread thin. Where the Army of planet Earth cannot reach, mercenaries must keep the peaceâand the Dirigent Mercenary Corps are the best of the best.
Serving with the Dirigent Mercenary Corps wasnât Lt. Lon Nolanâs first choiceâit was his only choice. After he was expelled from the North American Military Academy, there was nowhere else to go. Heâs finally made a place for himself with the DMC when a girl has to go and throw a wrench in his plans. Sara Pines is beautiful and brilliant, and heâs sure sheâs the one.
Unfortunately, Lonâs shipped out to quell a civil war on a distant planet before he has a chance to marry the woman he loves. And now that heâs arrived on Aldrin, itâs becoming increasingly clear that he might never make it home . . .
