Book excerpt: Mortem Tyrannis! Captain John Krighter is a Marine in the Western Alliance Imperial Defense Force, fighting pirates in a remote sector of the galaxy. Against his wishes, he receives orders to Earth to escort the Virginia Expedition, a fledgling Christian colony, on their quest to inhabit a new world. Far from the dull duty he anticipates, John faces the challenges of a brave and untamed frontier while standing toe-to-toe against some of the Empire's most ruthless enemies. Through his adventures, he discovers a good deal about his own history and sheds new light on the future of the Empire, while his own fate hangs ever in the balance. We, as a nation, have forgotten our history, and with it our identity. We have turned from our God and have lost our way. Without understanding our past, we are doomed to repeat our failures in the future. Galactic Ops was written to restore that which was lost. It aims to rekindle the spirit of our American history, deeply rooted in Christendom, and told through the gripping lens of science fiction. As with all good history, the events repeat themselves; only the names and places change.

Download or read book Combat written by Stephen Coonts and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2003-09-13 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world moves into the next millennium, the United States finds itself at the forefront of this new age, policing not only its own shores but the rest of the world as well. And spearheading this overwatch are the men and women of America's armed forces, the "troops on the wall," who will go anywhere, anytime, and do whatever it takes to protect not only our nation but the rest of the free world. Now, for the first time, Combat brings the best military-fiction authors together to reveal how war will be fought in the twenty-first century. From the down and dirty "ground-pounders" of the U.S. Armored Cavalry to the new frontiers of warfare, including outer space and the Internet, ten authors whose novels define the military-fiction genre have written all-new short stories about the men and women willing to put their lives on the line for freedom: Larry Bond takes us into the wild frontier of space warfare, where American soldiers fight a dangerous zero-gee battle with a tenacious enemy that threatens every free nation on Earth. Dale Brown lets us inside a world that few people see, that of a military promotion board, and shows us how the fate of an EB-52 Megafortress pilot's career can depend on a man he's never met, even as the pilot takes on the newest threat to American forces in the Persian Gulf--a Russian stealth bomber. James Cobb finds a lone U.S. Armored Cavalry scout unit that is the only military force standing between a defenseless African nation and an aggressive Algerian recon division. Stephen Coonts tells of the unlikely partnership between an ex-Marine sniper and a female military pilot who team up to kill the terrorists who murdered her parents. But, out in the Libyan desert, all is not as it seems, and these two must use their skills just to stay alive. Harold W. Coyle reports in from the front lines of the information war, where cyberpunks are recruited by the U.S. Army to combat the growing swarm of hackers and their shadowy masters who orchestrate their brand of online terrorism around the world. David Hagberg brings us another Kirk McGarvey adventure, in which the C.I.A. director becomes entangled in the rising tensions between China and Taiwan. When a revolutionary leader is rescued from a Chinese prison, the Chinese government pushes the United States to the brink of war, and McGarvey has to make a choice with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Dean Ing reveals a scenario that could have been torn right from today's headlines. In Oakland, a private investigator teams up with a bounty hunter and F.B.I. agent to find a missing marine engineer. What they uncover is the shadow of terrorism looming over America and a conspiracy that threatens thousands of innocent lives. Ralph Peters takes us to the war-torn Balkan states, where a U.S. Army observer sent to keep an eye on the civil war is taken on a guided tour of the country at gunpoint. Captured by the very people he is there to monitor, he learns just how far people will go for their idea of freedom. R.J. Pineiro takes us to the far reaches of space, where a lone terrorist holds the world hostage from a nuclear missle-equipped platform. To stop him, a pilot agrees to a suicidal flight into the path of an orbital laser with enough power to incinerate her space shuttle. Barrett Tillman takes us to the skies with a group of retired fighter jocks brought back for one last mission--battling enemy jets over the skies of sunny California.

Book excerpt: From the mountains of East Tennessee, a young and naive college student of the 1960s plunges into the horrors of the Vietnam War. Like many others of that era, he grew up with a romanticized and naive vision of the glories of war. As an officer and Artillery Forward Observer with the 25th Infantry Division, 1967 through 1968, he would live through a year of combat, including the 1968 Tet Offensive, without a scratch. He, like other soldiers, would supress the fear and anguish associated with seeing his comrades killed and mutilated. Upon returning to the "world" and to a college campus, he would then experience the contempt and ridicule that his peers, colleagues and professors had for the Vietnam Veteran. This story explores the emotional wounds he and other Vietnam Veterans suffered in silence. Ten years later, the "bomb" inside him explodes to scar him for life, threatening to destroy his home, career and life.
