PIKEVILLE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Author Damien Larkin returns us to Mars in this follow up to Big Red and Blood Red Sand. The many complex threads of this extravagantly layered war are brought together through a colorful cast of characters, jumping between POVs in a way that not only neatly connects all the action but keeps you on edge wondering where their allegiances will ultimately fall and who will make it through. The stakes keep stacking up as the many paths of this wildly original tale come together.

A military man himself, Larkin uses his knowledge to bring a science fiction war to life. He takes numerous storylines and threads them together to create a story which never lets up. There is not just action a-plenty. There is non-stop, relentless action. It is breath-taking in its remorselessness. Readers will find themselves on the edge of their seat, as much a part of the close-quarters skirmishes as the large scale battles.

Blood alone decides the fate of Mars…

For two years, the Mars Expeditionary Force has held the line against the last remnants of the Third Reich. McCabe, Jenkins, and the Second Battalion long for home. Reinforcements have arrived, but the veterans of the MEF have one final mission. Defend Forward Base Zulu at all costs.

While Generalfeldmarschall Brandt plans a decisive showdown at Forward Base Zulu, Reichsführer Wagner celebrates the activation of the first generation of the Hollow Programme. Surrounded and cut off, McCabe and Jenkins once again find themselves in league with the MAJESTIC-12 operatives known as the Black Visors. Now the future hinges on the sacrifices of a few determined soldiers.

"Immediately after set-up, the author creatively builds the war time action scenes with non-stop action and detail until the culmination that will leave a lump in your throat and a pain in your chest. The story telling is multi-layered with different characters and timelines that are interwoven to perfection." – Michele Packard, author
