Despite the escape from Meridian – and a strike at the heart of Wolfbane – enemy forces are still advancing on all fronts. The Commonwealth, worn down by a year of hard fighting, is reaching the end of its tether while Admiral Singh, having secured control of Wolfbane, is searching for the breaking point that will shatter the Commonwealth once and for all. Time is needed, time to bring new weapons and tactics into service, but time is the one thing the Commonwealth doesn’t have.
Now, with enemy forces closing on the industrialized world of Corinthian – Admiral Singh’s former base of operations – Colonel Stalker decides to make a stand. The Commonwealth will meet its enemies on the ground and destroy them…or die trying. They will not pass as long as a single marine remains alive.
But how much of Corinthian and the Commonwealth will survive the nightmare to come?
Good story, Qestionable science The series is a good read, if you like the never ending story type. Here we are on book 12 with no end in sight. The whole series is very good at story telling, but rather short on the applied science used by the author. Throughout the series the author has some rather strange concepts that he uses to tell his story.Â
Spoilers!!!! Why? I’ve read and enjoyed all of the Empire Corps books, and I have to say this is the first one I’ve been disappointed in. The reason I found it disappointing was the main plot of book made no sense. (Caution: Spoilers Ahead).Â
It is a good read and Chris does his usual good job of … It has been said that “War Is Hell” and Chris’s newest Empire’s Corps book shows it. It is a good read and Chris does his usual good job of telling the story with believable characters on both sides of the battles. If there’s a theme to this story, it is that war can never be clean and even when the war is justified, people suffer. It also shows the uncontrollability of war. Even with smart leaders, things can not be controlled on the field of battle.
