People expecting too much from her will probably be disappointed.

One vicious attack destroys it all. Reservist Lieutenant Justin Spencer loves every minute of flying fighters through space during his annual two-week tour with the Coalition Defense Force.

Death and destruction erupt across the Terran Coalition and leave Justin in a protracted war with only one truth remaining. The battlefield will leave no one unscathed.Mostra libro
