In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming
messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed.
The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being
exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast
Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the
only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to
trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned
credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a
proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the
form of soldiers...someone had to do their dirty work for them, their
fighting and dying.
Humanity's mercenary legions go to war in Steel World, bestselling
author B. V. Larson's latest science fiction novel.
