Forged by Fire

Captain Mike Sandhurst leads his newly-formed armored cavalry troop into the heart of the war on Heske.

As the Buzzers mass their forces for a devastating daylight assault, Sandhurst believes his unit has time to regroup on the edge of the battlefield. But no plan survives enemy contact, and the Buzzers are far more cunning than anyone anticipated.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Vivian Llewelyn and the Thunderbolts have deployed to Heske's northern front, ready to strike. After a successful campaign with their newly christened Ospreys, the Thunderbolts are battle-hardened, but internal discord threatens to unravel their effectiveness. With a new executive officer causing chaos in the ranks, they teeter on the brink of disarray just as the enemy closes in.

When the Buzzers launch their all-out assault, Sandhurst and Llewelyn are thrust into a brutal fight for survival. Earth's forces will be pushed to their limits, with the cavalry and Thunderbolts caught in the crossfire. To survive, they must adapt, tighten their bonds, and fight as one—shoot, move, and communicate—against an enemy unlike anything they've ever faced before.

Continue the fight against the Buzzers in this new rollicking Science Fiction thrill ride from Kevin Ikenberry. With realistic military action, space and ground battles, and a vicious bug alien invasion, it's perfect for fans of Starship Troopers , Hell Divers 2 , and Rick Partlow's Drop Trooper !
