The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense
Forces, elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into
the perfect soldiers for the CDF's toughest operations. They're young,
they're fast and strong, and they're totally without normal human
qualms.
The universe is a dangerous place for humanity--and it's about to become
far more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with before
have allied to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin: the
turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF's biggest
military secrets. To prevail, the CDF must find out why Boutin did what
he did.
Jared Dirac is the only human who can provide answers -- a superhuman
hybrid, created from Boutin's DNA, Jared's brain should be able to
access Boutin's electronic memories. But when the memory transplant
appears to fail, Jared is given to the Ghost Brigades.
At first, Jared is a perfect soldier, but as Boutin's memories slowly
surface, Jared begins to intuit the reason's for Boutin's betrayal. As
Jared desperately hunts for his father, he must also come to grips with
his own choices. Time is running out: The alliance is preparing its
offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity's mere
military defeat...
