Cullen Bright is an all-star athlete forged into a Marine. The question; can they do it again?

The Unity Marine Corps is fighting the most brutal war in human history—and they're losing. Facing an implacable enemy that will stop at nothing short of total conquest, an ugly truth comes to light in battle after battle.

Without more Marines, humanity will lose the war.

Cullen's plan to recruit civilians from his athletic academies, train them, equip them, and strike back at the enemy is greenlit by Unity Command. But the only at victory chance hinges on Cullen's ability to forge the next batch of athletes into the Marine Corps' newest elite teams—before the war crosses the point of no return. Then the Marines are given a gift from the stars—a closely guarded secret that can change the war.

The Hardshell homeworld has been found.

Built by the tactical masterminds at Command, Cullen and his Marines are presented with a desperate hope wrapped in impossible odds--Operation Blood Meteor. As the chain of defeats, casualties, and setbacks continues to mount, Cullen must instill his own tough lessons into the fresh recruits, and for the first time in the war, take the fight right to the doorstep of the enemy.

Can enough civilians become Marines in time to change the course of the war—before it's too late? Will Cullen's demand for perfect mission execution and unflagging tenacity strike a major blow against the enemy… or is he simply throwing Marines into the meat grinder?

The writing duo of JN Chaney and Terry Maggert that brought the bestselling and Dragon Award nominated series Backyard Starship returns with Book 2 of Gold Medal Marine, a no-holds-barred Military Sci-Fi series that will take you from the Olympic fields to the frontline of a Marine Special Operations Team as they fight a brutal war where failure doesn't mean the end of the war—it means the end for humanity.
