Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

Brent Parthet finds himself far too close to his enemies. Trapped in an uneasy alliance with the corporate monopoly and the secret police who control the Coalition, Brent and the other Archangels wonder if their new allies are worse than Conrad Janus and his Insurrection. One wants to prop up a corrupt government while the other wants to throw the galaxy into chaos, no matter how many millions of lives it costs.

But Brent is no puppet, and he has his own plans for the monolithic organizations who seek to pit one enemy against another. For the men responsible for starting a genocidal war and for killing Brent’s family, there’s going to come a reckoning.

Filled with explosive and realistic military action as well as heroes you can’t help but root for, this is military Sci-Fi the way it’s to be!
