Action-packed Gritty Military Scifi, Meta human, Alien Contact, Alternative History, Ground combat. The game never changes, only the players do. Others might call it rebellion, call it cowardice. The Vanguard will not forgive, nor will they forget. Their trust lays with one another, in those who have shed blood with them and joined the Net. Empires, governments, leaders, alliances, planets, corporations—many have fallen in humanity’s past. Now a new empire will stand on the shoulders of the Vanguard, the troopers, the people of Tricticus, and the Victor Corporation. Their goal: survive and defend those they care for. By any means necessary. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Loved the ever-intensifying pace of the tale. Hated for it to end. Please sir, may I have another? Surely this universe cannot end? Ken B ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Nice continuity, enjoyable characters both old and new. Satisfying ending with wonderful room for more books. I look forward to what happens next.
