Time to rendezvous: seven weeks. Failure imminent.
Lyndsey Collins is in a big damn hurry, she's on the wrong side of the galaxy—and running out of time.
Her primary mission—find Kyle Ranz—has been delayed and jeopardized by another equally important one: to capture a prototype mech that's guaranteed to wreak havoc in the Messa system.
On board the battleship Abyssinian, Lyndsey's loyalties to unexpectedfriends will be brutally tested against her resolve to get to Kyle. With every delay and detour, her good options all fade away like screaming into the vacuum of space.
And thanks to the mixed blessing of Future Insight, she knows that people are goingto die—and her choices will determine who.
Lyndsey faces insurmountable odds from threats both internal and external and shows all why she's earned her Steel Hearts.
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 that have shed blood with them and joined the net.
Empires, government, leaders, alliances, planets, corporations-many have fallen in humanities 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.
Earth and her colonies are not alone.
Politics, discussions, and alliances. Mark doesn't care about any of it. What does it matter when the artillery falls and blood is spilled?
All that matters is who stands beside you when blood is spilled and hell lies all around you.
'Centurion Victor' has a nice ring to it. Major Victor, Corporal Victor, Private Victor; his path has not been a short one. Brothers and sisters have fallen beside him, casualties of war. He thought Tyler and Alexis were just casualties of war, he accepted that.
Politics, discussions, and alliances killed them and should have killed him. Mark Victor is on a warpath, a path that leads to the top.
The secretive Roma Union has stepped forward. The warlike Maraukians are coming, and humanity must rally together or shatter into oblivion.
Alliances, position, power-when a Victor has your name and a blood debt to be paid, it will be paid.
Monsters, saviors and weapons-the Vanguard don't care what they're called. All that matters is that they answer the call when people cry out in need.
The core worlds of the Roma Union are in the line of fire. Untouched by war for hundreds of years, they've become used to peace.
The Maurakians, bearing new technology, can go wherever they want; with little warning, the blanket of safety that humanity has created is ripped away.
Once again the Vanguard are called upon to act. To give their lives for others and hold out no matter the circumstances, their target, Indalia.
What does it matter if you defeat the enemy in front of you, only to have your ally place a blade in your back? Rely on your family.
Every decision Mark makes will have devastating consequences that could change the direction of the Maraukian war and humanity's path forward.
