Humankind may have won the battle, but a new threat looms larger than
ever before...
Earth's armed forces have stopped the Lanky advance and chased their
ships out of the solar system, but for CDC officer Andrew Grayson, the
war feels anything but won. On Mars, the grinding duty of flushing out
the twenty-meter-tall alien invaders from their burrows underground is
wearing down troops and equipment at an alarming rate. And for the
remaining extrasolar colonies, the threat of a Lanky attack is ever
present.
Earth's game changer? New advanced ships and weapons, designed to hunt
and kill Lankies and place humanity's militaries on equal footing with
their formidable foes. Andrew and his wife, Halley, both now burdened
with command responsibilities and in charge of more lives than just
their own, are once again in humanity's vanguard as they prepare for
this new phase in the war. But the Lankies have their own agenda...and
in war, the enemy doesn't usually wait until you are prepared. As Andrew
is once again plunged into the chaos and violence of war with an
unyielding species, he is forced to confront the toll this endless
conflict is taking on them all, and the high price of survival...at any
cost.
