Military Space Wars

Lance Corporal Hondo McKeever is a peacetime marine. Humanity is hooked into a limited war with the alien Klethos, where gladiator-style combat decides the fate of worlds. Hondo's career has consisted of training hard but never seeing actual battle. All of that changes when a new enemy invades the galaxy. One that forces humanity and the Klethos to forge an unlikely alliance. But can the Klethos be trusted? Mankind hasn’t fought an all-out war in centuries, but they’re about to. And the Grub invaders are bent on running the galaxy.

With echoes of wonder and cries for help, swarms of claws and clans under siege, the vastness calls out for a hero. Instead, Master Sergeant Riot and her ride-or-die crew - fueled by extreme amounts of caffeine, questionable morals, and a dose of epinephrine - stand against a pee-your-pants-a-little baddie, threatening the cosmos.

Sergeant Riot was protecting the world from an alien invasion one minute, only to wake up in a mental institution the next. She isn’t sure what’s going on, but she’s going to crack skulls until she gets to the bottom of it. Most of the patients at the institute are what one might expect from this sort of facility: some are manic, some are weird, and some are full of drool. The wardens are strict, but they’re not used to handling the caliber of crazy that Riot brings to the table.

Dann erhält Rose aus heiterem Himmel eine Nachricht von Brodie Kaur, seinem ehemaligen Waffenmeister und einem augmentierten Soldaten, den er im bevorstehenden Kampf gut gebrauchen kann. Das Problem ist nur, dass er eigentlich tot sein sollte.

Carter Rose wusste immer, dass dieser Tag kommen würde.

Afterward, the second task is to return to Quetanae space and search for any pockets of survivors from Kodo and Kalaya's home world. Sounds simple enough.

When Hail confronts the Farian gods, the last thing she expected was to discover that they were part of a race of aliens who'd attacked the galaxy long before humanity's ancestors had crawled out of the sludge of Earth's oceans.
