COPY ISBN
The powerful Tauran Union controls the Transitway between Terra Nova and Earth, while above the independent planet of Balboa, the United Earth Peace Fleet, armed with nuclear weapons, keeps watch. Massively outnumbered by the occupying Tauran forces, the Balboans enlist everyone to fight for freedom—and their strongest and fiercest force is a unit of women soldiers, the Amazon Regiment. Through the voice of one young soldier, who has left her child in the care of an older woman to take up arms, Kratman (A Desert Called Peace; Carnifex; The Lotus Eaters) continues his tales of interplanetary warfare with an excruciatingly visceral story of bravery and sacrifice.
VERDICT Series followers and fans of the military sf of John Ringo and David Weber should enjoy this sf action adventure.
