About this ebook

It's the war story he's dreamed of. But the battle may cost him his mind.

Military journalist Raymin Dahl thinks he's finally getting the story of a lifetime. Secret peace talks on a remote tropical moon are about to surrender five colonized worlds—and six hundred million civilians—to a ruthless enemy.

But when his commanding officer, Captain Ansell Sterling, is fatally wounded before the negotiations can begin, Dahl can no longer just report on the mission. He's ordered to complete it. With help from the AI embedded in Sterling's comms bracelet, Dahl must impersonate his commander—a Marine Corps hero and psychological operations expert.

However, Sterling's AI may be luring him to surrender more than he realizes. And the mission Corporal Dahl thinks he's running isn't the only operation underway.

    What an intriguing story the author delivers using his imagination to take readers to another world. Within the first few sentences readers find that it will be hard to trust anyone in the story. A journalist who lies for a living gave me pause for a minute. I wonder how many stories we have read or seen on television are fabricated for someone’s benefit? Oh that blows my mind thinking about it. That little sentence carried me through the entire story. Dahl has been summoned to write a story of what is really happening in the war. The truth must be told and his mission is to get it out no matter the cost. I loved the action and the characters so much I almost believed them to be real. It was watching a science fiction movie only I was part of the story, Yes I attached myself to the star of the book and joined him on his mission. I felt every pain he endured and the agony of losing those who fought for freedom and truth. The author does throw a major curve ball in the story that shocked me. There was the brilliance of his writing. He lulls his readers into a sense of security and bam nothing is what we thought. I do have to say that I’m not sure why this is a Christian book. I found no reference to faith or Jesus at all. Maybe the author has subtlety put in things I didn’t catch. For me it missed its mark as a Christian book but is good as a science fiction one for older teens. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
