About this audiobook
"Marines ain't supposed to sit. We're supposed to kill."
After the resource-rich planet Diamunde is seized by the armed forces of industrialist Marston St. Cyr, the Confederation Marines face their most desperate battles yet against the mechanized forces of the bloody usurper. Promised a walkover by military planners, instead the Marines must run a gauntlet of steel, with weaponry three hundred years out of date.
For the Confederation's invasion army to seize the planet, the Marine FISTs first have to secure a planethead against St. Cyr's much larger forces which are equipped with superior weapons. Together with their outgunned comrades, the Marines of 34th FIST must do the impossible--or die . . .
From the Paperback edition.

David Sherman
About the Author David Sherman is a husband, IT guru, writer, and general geek-of-all-trades. While in college, he studied history and majored in Biblical languages. He later turned his love of languages to computers, and built his IT career first as a programmer-analyst and later a systems architect. He has traveled around the world as part of his career, working with people in a dozen different countries and cultures, and has thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. David loves science fiction and fantasy, and is just arrogant enough to think that he has some worthy stories of his own to contribute to the genres. He lives in Colorado, USA, with his wife and several furry critters.
