They fight the wars nobody else wants to.

The Frontier Corps are the Terran Empire's repository for failures, malcontents, criminals, and other people with nothing left to lose but to sign their names on the dotted line of a ten year contract for another shot at life.

But flung across the stars to face horrifying enemies, it may as well be a death sentence.

Pari Petrosyan is a grizzled veteran of the Corps. With only a few months left of her contract, she has her mind on her discharge papers. Her easy path on her way to freedom is interrupted when a new commander arrives, ready to launch a large-scale military offensive to finally end the conflict she had spent her entire career fighting.

Caught between the grinding war machines of the empire and the inhuman monstrosities known as the Resh, Pari has to try to survive if she ever hopes to be free.

I see someone in the reviews saying this book is just repackaged warhammer, disregard that review. It's genre fiction. It has some stuff in common with, y'know, the other stuff in its genre. This is military sci-fi. No frills, nothing fancy, no big gimmick. It is exactly what it is, and it is very good at being what it is. The use of tropes is masterful, to the point where someone who doesn't know the genre could assume they were original ideas. This is good stuff.

This is prime milSF

I highly recommend all work by Joe Kassabian to anyone who will listen.

His stories usually center around rarely offered perspectives in military conflict. Whether that be of prisoners become soldiers, women in combat, or a disgraced Prince become officer, they are always captivating, and I’m kept at the edge of my seat throughout the whole book.

A Powerful and captivating read

Good story flow. Fun characters. Can be described as Wait it gets worse. Voice acting is good but not great.

How do you bring a feeling of reality to Sci fi. Joe does a great job of that, you just believe your in whatever setting

Joe can absolutely write fiction

I've seen through your formula Joe, just borrow every concept from 40k, Star Wars and any popular space opera then make the names Armenian so it sounds different to americans. Prisoners Dilemma was executed way better and it's disheartening this series was fully realeased before Prisoners Dilemma. I had to go and actually read the sequels. It makes me wanna Soghomon Telerian Joe at his next meetup.

Armenian space opera (Listen to Lions Led By Donkeys instead)
