He raised an army against those who took everything from him.
They should have picked their enemies more carefully. Five centuries
from now, on a remarkably Earthlike planet that is mankind's sole colony
in space, religious fanatics called the "Salafi Ikhwan" have murdered
the uncle of former colonel Patrick Hennessey. That was their first
mistake, because uncle was rich and Hennessey was rather a good colonel.
But they also murdered Hennessey's wife, Linda, and their three small
children, and that was their worst mistake for she was the only
restraint Hennessey had ever accepted. From the pile of rubble and the
pillar of fire that mark the last resting place of Linda Hennessey and
her children arises a new warrior--Carrera, scourge of the Salafis. He
will forge an army of ruthless fanatics from the decrepit remains of
failed state's military. He will wage war across half a world. He will
find those who killed his family. He will destroy them, and those who
support them, utterly, completely, without restraint or remorse. Only
when he is finished will there be peace: the peace of an empty wind as
it blows across a desert strewn with the bones of Carrera's enemies.
