The Epic Conclusion to the Crimson Worlds Series...
Erik
Cain is the hero of the Marine Corps, a celebrated warrior who has led
his grim veterans into every war the Alliance and mankind have faced.
But now he has left the Corps, driven to near madness by an overwhelming
need for vengeance. He has sworn to kill Gavin Stark, the madman
responsible for his mentor’s death and, with a small band of dedicated
followers, he is pursuing his prey across occupied space.
Meanwhile,
on a dozen colony worlds, Marines land to face the occupying forces of
Stark’s Shadow Legions. They are supported by the Janissaries, their
longtime enemies, now turned allies, but they are exhausted and
outnumbered, facing a vastly superior enemy entrenched and waiting for
them. But they are veterans, Marines and Janissaries both, men and women
who have battled the armies of the First Imperium and lived to tell the
tale. They know what is at stake, and they are determined to prevail,
even if none of them come back.
And on Earth, the economic
collapse Stark engineered has shattered the Treaty of Paris and its
century-long prohibition against terrestrial warfare. Millions are
already dead as the war between the Superpowers spreads across the
Earth, a growing conflagration that could end in apocalyptic nuclear,
chemical, and biological exchanges between the powers.
Will
mankind live under the iron boot of Gavin Stark and his clone
descendants forever? Or will Erik Cain and the Marines defeat him once
and for all?
