A novel by

 
 
Taken from their planet and their century, they are…the Lost Soldiers.

Marooned on the primitive planet R’Bak in the 55 Tauri B system, the Lost Soldiers have accomplished the impossible: they’ve stolen a transatmospheric cargo hauler and used it to get two squads of troops alongside a Kulsian corvette orbiting the second planet of the system. Now they have to—they absolutely must!—capture it, because if they fail to do so, they lose everything.

Leading the assault is a hard job that will require a hard, dedicated man. Navy SEAL Harry Tapper is that hard man… but dedicated? He was once, but now he’s not so sure. Not at all.

When the Lost Soldiers were hastily roused from cold-sleep, Tapper was indispensable to their initial success. It was he who risked his life among the indigenous peoples. It was he who led raids that captured the Kulsian vehicles which the Lost Soldiers used to expand from a small dirtside FOB into a planet-wide presence. But then Harry married an indig woman, went native, and lost both the commitment and inclination to fight for his former country, or even his home planet.

Can Murphy inspire Tapper to get back into the fight? He’d better, because if he doesn’t, the soldiers that have dubbed themselves “Murphy’s Lawless” aren’t the only ones who will lose everything; it will mean extinction for all their allies—both planetside and spaceside—as well.
