Publisher Description

Caleb Mitchell gave up everything to protect his home. Shunned by friends and family for abandoning the pacifist beliefs of their religion, abandoned by the love of his life, he left his homeworld of Canaan to go to the Commonwealth Military Academy on Earth and train to fight in the looming war against the implacable alien threat of the Tahni Imperium. When a training mission with a crew of cadets winds up caught in the middle of one of the worst battles of the war, Cal and his fellow students are officially declared dead.

That's when their war really begins. Recruited for a top-secret special operations unit, Cal and his friends undergo experimental and dangerous physical augmentation that turns them into supersoldiers, designed to take the fight behind enemy lines and put the fear of God into an alien society who thinks their Emperor is God personified.

Now Caleb is asked to sacrifice his very humanity to protect his people. But when Canaan itself is threatened by the Tahni, will he throw away his career and risk everything to save the people who turned their backs on him?

    " Rick Partlow writes very, very good sci-fi, and this is one of his better books. Kyle McCarley's narration, however, spoils the enjoyment. His nasal, whiny, grating tone is only slightly salvaged by his facility for accents. A very, very poor choice to narrate a first person story about a warrior. His voice and inflection is probably better suited to YA stories about teenage angst or sparkly vampires. Recommended *only* because of the story; I will not buy any more books read by McCarley. "
