About This Book
Six years before Nick Walker became a United Federation Marshal, he joined the Star Marines. A revolution was already brewing on Alpha Centauri 2, then a Federation colony; two religious cults had banded together and were attempting to overthrow the Colonial government.The shooting started while Nick was still in training, but the Star Marines were not deployed for another year, when it became clear that neither the Colonial Defense Force nor the Federation Infantry could contain the rebellion. By the time Nick's regiment arrived on the scene, the Rebel Coalition had conquered an entire continent and it seemed that nothing could stop them.You already know the story of Trimmer Springs, of Nick's heroism in the bell tower with a Browning .49 cal sniper rifle; now read the entire story, from the moment Nick and the 33rd Star Marines first set foot on the planet. The fighting is brutal, the fear is constant, and survival seems unlikely. What some might consider atrocities often become routine events, the only means to stay alive.Combat changes a man. Even the most innocent, idealistic recruit, if he survives, will never be the same. Not even Nick Walker. Follow Nick's evolution from combat cherry to weary war veteran. This is Nick as you've never seen him, just twenty years old, raw and unsophisticated. Grab your helmet, your canteen, your bandoliers, your .291 assault rifle-and brace yourself for action! This will be the hottest fight of Nick's life, and you will be right there with him.Revolt on Alpha 2 is Nick's 8th adventure. Don't miss it!
