The Earth died when aliens rained thermonuclear warheads on her cities
and sprayed the surface with a bio-terminator. A deadly poison drifted
to every corner of the planet, threatening the last survivors with
annihilation.
For a soldier in Antarctica like Creed, there is only one way to keep
breathing untainted air. He must bury his hatred of the
extraterrestrials and join the Jelk Corporation as an assault trooper,
leaving the planet for outer space. In return for his and other people's
services, the corporation will house the last humans for as long as the
assault troopers keep winning.
For the price of living and the chance to save humanity, Creed has to
wear a shock chip in his neck--Jelk discipline is harsh--and he has to
don a symbiotic battlesuit that feeds off his sweat. Human life is cheap
in the vast alien war. The assault troopers are little more than suicide
soldiers, but for humanity to escape extinction, they must survive. But
Creed didn't agree to the bargain in order to remain a dog to the
aliens. He has a plan, and he'll need all his cunning to beat these star
born bastards and begin the road to freedom for the human race.
Assault Troopers is a tale of human extinction and ultimate
desperation, written by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.
