Synopsis

War is brutal. Colonel Wes Stauer gets it. He ought to. He was once one of war's most brutal practitioners-not to mention one of its most effective and least bloody. Brutal yes; stupid no. Now, not only must Stauer command his crack outfit of former comrades and pull off yet another miracle mission, he must also harness and direct the brute within himself-a beast he will need in order to destroy an intelligent enemy who is as implacable as Stauer himself. Okay, almost as implacable. There will be war. And there will be warriors like Wes Stauer who have the know-how and, once set in motion, the unstoppable professional drive, to see the bad guys to their graves and destroy every last earthly piece of their nasty legacies.

Goodreads review by Loren

Kratman makes you sympathize and understand the reasons of the enemy, making it all the harder to see them killed off. War at its Best, War at its Worst, all boils down to Manpower and Money, and the willingness to spend both when needs must. All in All , The Liberators was a better read.......more

Goodreads review by Dan

I have a difficult time rating this one impartially. I'm well-acquainted with the author, I read snippets of it on the Baen's Bar site, and Tom did me the credit of almost killing me off as a minor character. His work fuels my inner demons and makes me miss active soldiering like no one else. I foun......more
