The war made him a hero. Now the Marines need him to be a leader.

Cam Alvarez is a Drop-Trooper. A warrior-knight wrapped in the futuristic armor of a high-tech battlesuit, and he’s one of the best. When he’s promoted to sergeant and asked to become a leader, he faces a whole new challenge. The Marines are striking deep into enemy territory, and the casualties are mounting.

Cam is torn, knowing his job is to follow orders and carry out the battle plan, even if he doesn’t agree with it. But his squad has become his family, and now he’s being asked to lead his family into battle, knowing it will mean their deaths.

Can a Marine squad leader come up with a better battle plan than the high command? And will anyone listen if he does?

Grab the explosive second installment of Rick Partlow's newest military sci-fi series and find out!

This books seemed a bit more focused on the details of the battles than the characters, but it still gave good insight to how Alvarez grows mentally. It does make me start to wonder about the Tawney. Their perspective on the human race. Would the author ever consider writing from this perspective?

Good sequel to Contact Front

Just read the title veeeery good book. 10/10 and the narrator did fantastic too.

The story continues and though there are parts that make you want to scream and cry, its more then worth the full listen.

I've only listened to 2 books by Rick Partlow, but this dude can write. Read one review that basically stated that if you have listened to one sci-fi book you won't miss anything in this series. That's total crap. Being former military, this book has so many elements of military life packed in. None of the idiotic cheese that a lot of writers pack into their books. Tactics that actually sound correct vs crap that other writers come up with.

The narration is actually very good. The one thing that drives me crazy is to listen to a military book being presented by a dude who sounds like Mr. Rodgers reading a children's story. Not this book. The one ask is that the author would go into more detail in the area of the space battles, but that lack doesn't take away from the story.

This is a very good series
