A bold new contingent-Force Recon-joins the explosive Starfist space epic of marines at war.
A Confederation army is besieged on the planet Ravenette, cut off by and
facing destruction at the hands of a dozen Secessionist Coalition worlds arrayed
against it. The outnumbered and outgunned forces cling precariously to their foothold,
dubbed ""Bataan"" by the desperate men in their fighting bunkers. Reinforcements are
on the way, but will they arrive in time? And even if they do, can they match the
well-led, highly motivated enemy determined to destroy them in battle?
But the Confederation
commander holds a wild card, an elite force armed only with what they carry on their
backs and in their heads- a small detachment of Marines who lightly go where others
fear to tread, the Fourth Force Recon Company. For anyone else this mission would
be suicide, but for these Marines, it's just another day in the maelstrom.
