Synopsis

Staff Sergeant Tobin Kerr was a battle-hardened professional. So when she and those in her platoon who had survived the last deadly encounter with the Others were yanked from a well-deserved leave for what was supposed to be "easy" duty as the honor guard for a diplomatic mission to the non-Confederation world of the Silsviss, she was ready for anything.

At first, it seemed that all she'd have to contend with was bored troops getting into mischief and breaking in the new second lieutenant who had been given command of her men

Sure, there had been rumors of the Others—the sworn enemies of the Confederation—being spotted in this sector of space. But there were always rumors. The key thing was to recruit the Silsviss into the Confederation before the Others either attacked or claimed this lizardlike race of warriors for their own side. And everything seemed to be going perfectly. Maybe too perfectly.

Goodreads review by Gail on March 26, 2015

Series Review: I barreled through this series: Huff is an expert at crafting edge-of-your seat, against-all-odds showdowns, but also manages to underpin her books with a worthy (if somewhat limited) allegorical perspective. This is military sci-fi, starring "Confederation" marines, and so is infused......more

Goodreads review by H (no longer expecting notifications) Balikov on March 31, 2019

I wasn’t sure what I was getting, but I would call this a military/space opera that hit all the right notes (for those of you who are into this genre). Huff “knows her stuff” … (the extent of my poetic gift). She knows how the military should sound and how jarheads and grunts talk to each other and c......more

Goodreads review by K.F. on December 05, 2016

I loved this book before I went and started writing books myself. There is a crazy thing that happens when you write books, though. You develop editing brain, and you can no longer read without picking up all the little issues that you might change in your own stuff. It is a real downer, let me tell......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on May 12, 2014

There's a statement made in this book that "troops" tend to remember the good part of service and not so much the bad. To an extent that's true, otherwise ex-militarily people wouldn't be fans of military reads... This is an excellent action/military science fiction read. The Confederation is made up......more
