The Blood Service
(eBook)
Description
Orbital Strike Command, the Naval Elite, cybernetically enhanced and issued the best gear available with the express intent of suppressing unruly colonists for the glory of the Empire. Despite all that training, their strategies are made for humans. Not whatever this is. Aaron's no super soldier. He's just a convict, a lifetime tenant toiling his days away in the Empire's frontier labor camps. Aaron doesn't need body mods to hear the big beasts battering away at the colony wall. These creatures dig day and night, two tons of leather and bone sending violent tremors through the dry soil. They're coming, they're coordinated, vicious and relentless. Which brings a desperate Navy to visit Aaron's squalid pit with a tempting offer. They need strong and willing bodies to man the Wall to fend off this horde, and they can give him what he and every other convict dreams of. Serve a tour, and they can go free. Nobody has any illusions. The convicts all know the bitter truth: they're not expected to survive. But Aaron starts to defy those odds, become a symbol to criminal and colonist alike. The Empire cannot allow a symbol to take GOODREADS REVIEWS"The main character is awesome, and the story is action packed!" Goodreads, ★★★★★"Loved it. Fast-paced and feel-good storyline."
