Book excerpt: Wars are not fought between good and bad people; they are fought by soldiers. The Axi have invaded Col. Without a fleet, they have managed to land an entire legion on the Valen world and begin sweeping over its deserts in an unstoppable blitzkrieg. Hellick Primus is a squad leader in Driven Company of the 173rd Legion. He has a wife and two children, but today, his ten troopers are his only family. Veterans of two campaigns, the troopers of D Co soon discover that Col is host to the worst violence of their careers. Despite their superior technology and military discipline, Hellick struggles against micromanaging leadership, Col's hostile climate, and a crafty enemy to bring each member of his "family" home alive. Staff Sergeant Ramsey is 1st Platoon's sergeant for Bravo Company, 22nd Infantry Battalion. The Col Defense Guard suffers from a peace time mentality, where soldiers' feelings and welfare are placed over training. Ramsey's platoon is a wreck of poor soldiers guided by weak leaders and equipped with outdated hardware. Slaughter ensues. The weight of survival falls on the shoulders of a few professionals, who find themselves locked in conflict, while their friends are murdered around them. In war there are no underdogs; there are only survivors and fodder. In war, there are no heroes; there are only the living and the dead. War is not fair. War is hell. Which side will you choose? "Dominic has achieved what all military sci-fi authors aspire to - an expansive, compelling plot with realistic dialogue between soldiers and intense combat scenes. He pulled it off because he's been there and done the real thing. Outstanding." – SSG (ret) Rob Bell

Book excerpt: Staff Sergeant Ramsey and the soldiers of Bravo Company are caught off guard by a sudden invasion from the Axi. The Axi have managed to attack the harsh, desert world of Col from across the galaxy, without the use of any stellar fleets. Ramsey is caught in a battle for survival, while simultaneously trying to organize his poorly trained and ill equipped unit. Hellick Primus has left his family behind to serve his nation in the "liberation" of Col. As an Axi non-commissioned officer, he is now responsible for the safety of another family- the troopers of his squad. Hellick quickly discovers that the swift occupation they were promised has turned into a desperate battle for survival against an increasingly clever opponent. As the skirmishes turn to drawn out battles and the members of his squad become wounded or killed, Hellick grapples with the nagging question, "Why are we even here?"In war, there are survivors and there are the fodder. There are no heroes. There is only the living and the dead. War is not fair. War is hell.Which side will you choose?
