About the book

Against The Swarm

Steel On Target! Let The Thunder Roll!

Captain Mike Sandhurst and the battered 157th Tank Regiment lead the charge across the alien world of Honalee, determined to break the last hive and secure the island of Paradise. But every advance brings new horrors: mines, snipers, and new tactics that challenge the human way of war. But this time, the Earth Maneuver Forces are not alone.

The Rhino infantry have fully joined the campaign and committed forces to the fight. Power warriors with brutal close-quarters skills, their large crab-like battle platforms, and a battlefield code all their own make them a formidable ally. But integration is uneasy, and trust must be earned in fire. As the human and alien forces learn to fight side by side, new possibilities, and new costs, emerge. Commander Kathy March, grounded and acting as the lead intelligence officer for the EMF, embeds herself with the Rhinos and learns just how capable they are and how their alliance could change everything.

Overhead, the Thunderbolts fly into growing chaos. Lieutenant Commander Vivian Llewelyn must hold her squadron together through relentless enemy strikes and growing losses. As the Interface systems push the limits of pilot and machine, and the enemy deploys air assets by the hundreds, the skies become as deadly as the battlefield below. Command and control of the entire operation is at risk as the Buzzers swarm down onto Paradise and attempt to eliminate Task Force Victory.

The fight against the Buzzers rages on in Book 6 of the Buzzer War Series, by Kevin Ikenberry. With realistic military action, space and ground battles, and a vicious bug alien invasion, it's perfect for fans of Starship Troopers, Hell Divers 2, and Rick Partlow's Drop Trooper!
