Recon: A War to the Knife

Tyler Callas, the privileged heir of a corporate executive, longs to break free from his mother's control and join the military amidst a brutal war with the alien Tahni. Assuming a new identity as Randall Munroe, he enlists in the Marines and ascends to an elite Force Recon unit. When a harrowing mission goes awry, leaving him wounded and stranded, he rallies civilian colonists into a resistance movement against their oppressors on the alien-occupied world of Demeter. As their struggle intensifies, the conflict escalates from high-tech warfare to a desperate fight for survival.
