Series: Starfist: Force Recon

An exciting new special-ops adventure from the battle-tested vets who created the

popular Starfist series

Jorge Lavager, charismatic leader of the mysterious Union

of Margelan, ferociously guards an agricultural research facility on the planet Atlas.

What that facility conceals will prove whether Lavager is an idealist seeking to

unify Atlas under a banner of freedom and prosperity-or a tyrant aiming to control

all of Human Space.

The Marines of Fourth Force Recon's second platoon are dispatched

to Atlas to uncover the truth. They will have to sneak past state-of-the-art surveillance

equipment barring unlawful entry to the planet and land in a desolate area miles

from their target. And if they discover lethal new weapons instead of legitimate

research, the thirty-six Marines are to seize the compound-guarded by merciless,

armed-to-the-teeth soldiers-and destroy it. But what the recon team finds on Atlas

sets off a chain of events that will force some hard decisions on the Marines . .

. and end in a deadly surprise.
