Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
And yet farther away than ever.
Cam, Vicky and the others follow the jump gate line into the Reconstructor systems, hoping to find the Northwest Passage back to Earth...back home.
Instead, they find death and destruction. And an ancient mystery.
Something has wiped out one world after another, not a fleet of aliens, not a natural disaster, but a single enemy. A remnant of an old war, a doomsday weapon in the form of an insidious contagion that could infect one of their own.
And if it does, it won't just be the end of Cam and the crew of the Orion...it'll mean the end of the human race.
Book 14 in the Amazon Bestselling Drop Trooper series by Rick Partlow is here. It's Military Sci-Fi the way it's supposed to be!
