Synopsis

Benjamin Colt is a Green Beret damaged by circumstance. While others have stumbled into honor, each time the prize of combat is dangled in front of him, it’s snatched from his grasp. There’s nothing for a professional warrior to do except keep getting up no matter how many times he’s knocked down, hoping that the next time will be the one that brings him his day of days. But just as he’s poised to get his wish, the universe plays another practical joke on him… Aliens are real, and come bearing gifts that are secretly sending the world back to the Stone Age. Using their technology to beat them at their own game, Colt and his team are catapulted onto a world not their own. The ancient and dying world of a dream. There he must fight perilous and personal battles against barbaric aliens and the twisted hearts of men, surrounded by the tragic remnants of a once great civilization—one slowly withering from the memory of the galaxy to return to the red dust from which it came. A thrilling military adventure of air cars, ray guns, four-armed giants and eight-legged cavalry, miniguns and 40mm grenades. A captive princess needs a hero to save a world… and Ben Colt, who needs a princess to make him—a Warlord. “Doc Spears’ Warlord harkens the golden days of science fiction and fantasy with a decidedly modern military twist that will keep you reading page after thrilling page.” – AP Bestselling Author Jason Anspach

The first chapters of the book have frequent flashbacks that interrupt the flow of the action but stick with it. It pays off.

A Magnificent Adventure Story. A small Special Forces team are flown through a wormhole and their plane crash lands in another Universe. Though it will be a familiar universe to many readers. It’s Barsoom, or a variant thereof. In this universe the tusked four-armed giant green aliens are called Tarn......more

Goodreads review by Steve on December 22, 2022

3.5 stars. I made it about 1/2 way through John Carter of Mars, so the author doesn't win points for appropriating (the most diplomatic term I can use) that world for this book. The author purports to be a former SF operator, and I have no reason to doubt that. What I have a hard time with is Bryant......more
