Rescue never looked so dangerous. Lucky and crew think the worst is behind them when a ship finally arrives to whisk them away from a doomed diplomatic mission. It doesn't take long to learn how wrong they are. Before they know it, a seemingly vanquished foe returns more powerful, and with more resources, than ever. But it's the source of this new power that proves more disturbing than anything else. As time runs out, and the stakes rise to inconceivable levels, Lucky realizes that even if he wins, everybody loses. Don't ask Lucky. Just give him a weapon and get out of the way. Gritty. Fast-Paced. Addictive. You'll love this high-octane military sci-fi because it's the love child of "Starship Troopers" and "Jason Bourne."
