One Good Soldier is the third book in the rapid-fire hard science
military SF series of One Day on Mars and The Tau Ceti Agenda.
In another 24-like narrative set six years after the events in The Tau
Ceti Agenda, this exciting action story unfolds in a single critical
day in the history of the United States of the Sol System, the
extra-solar colonies, the Separatist Revolutionaries of the Tau Ceti
system, and all of mankind.
As another of Earths colonies, Ross 128, secedes from the union, the
President of the United States, former marine major Alexander Moore,
takes swift action to prevent a second American Civil War, this time on
an interstellar scale.
He sends the flagship of the U.S. Naval fleet through the Quauntum
Membrane Teleporter based in the Oort Cloud to the seceding colony. But
the Tau Ceti Separatists have stationed their own teleporter there and
the flagship will be met with heavy resistance from the Separatist Navy.
And, unknown to the president and first lady, their 18 year old military
school cadet daughter has been kidnapped and whisked away to the
Separatist leader's house on Tau Ceti.
Only the heroics and sacrifices of one good soldier after another can
save the flagship, the Union, and the first daughter in an all-out
winner-take-all showdown that reaches its final climax with frenzied
hand-to-hand combat in the Oval Office itself.
