A hostile fleet. A planet killer. And one shot to make it right.
In this gripping new military science-fiction novel, a battle-tested infantry squad pursues an inhuman enemy into the vacuum of space.
Maseo Kaytu's squad is yanked from a much-deserved furlough by an emergency deployment off-planet. But why is Command sending grunts into the "Big Empty"? Without CAVs, without backup—hell, without gravity—the squad is more vulnerable than ever. Tasked with a mission that only they can complete, they track the enemy across the killing vastness of space, from a bizarre interplanetary warehouse to the hidden heart of a research habitation...and beyond.
But the enemy is tracking them, too. Scanning, calculating, preparing. Kaytu joined the military to redeem the bad choices of his past, yet now—trapped in hostile territory—he learns that soldiers face the hardest choices of all.

      Maseo Kaytu's squad is an odd group of misfits. Yanked from their well-deserved furlough, this battle-tested infantry squad is pulled for emergency deployment into space to fight a lethal enemy. Their mission is to go behind enemy lines and retrieve credible intel and a possible weapon that the research facility has created that may be the only way to stop the enemy. This assignment is totally foreign to the crew and they have to adapt rapidly. The jargon used to describe the technical aspects of space and spaceships as well as weaponry and tactics makes the overall story harder to understand for readers unfamiliar with military terms or unwilling to do the extra research. Also expect plenty of soldier talk, profanity, and bathroom humor. VERDICT This third in Dane's "Cry Pilot" series (after Burn Cycle) still delivers pulse-pounding action and the satisfying adrenaline rush of a mission complete, but is best read alongside the previous books, which familiarize readers with the characters and the type of work they do.--Cynde Suite, Bartow Cty.
