The war against the Swarm isn't going well. The governments of the Sovereign Star systems are riddled with treachery, treason, duplicity and... defection. And the enemy is evolving.Enter the Imperator, an intelligent, technological alien entity unlike anything the USF has previously encountered.Commodore Richard Morian's mission is to capture the Imperator . . .. . . but it will take a planetary invasion on a grand scale to do so, a battle fought in space, in the air, and on the ground. And all this to a backdrop of political intrigue that threatens to bring the entire Sovereign system down.

Linked directly to Volume #69, the story begins with Fedorov still trapped inside the ancient Sphinx, but where it soon goes from there is a wild new twist, and a new story line. Hold on to your hats, Director Kamenski has another mission for Karpov, Fedorov, and crew, and it is different from anything  they have ever been asked to do. The problem is the dread Grand Finality rearing its ugly head again. Karpov thought the mission to the polar bases using Baikal  to plant hidden tactical nukes had made an end of the Finality when the initial Skeletal invasion was stopped, but now Kamenski reveals that the fierce Alien race is not yet through with Earth, and that they have planned for the annihilation of humanity another way. Kamenski gambles that men like Karpov, Fedorov, Troyak and his Marines are just the type to  foil the plot the Ice Men are hatching, but to do this they have to go to the strangest farthest place the saga has ever reached.The Skeletals are once again the primary antagonists, and it will take all Fedorov's reasoned wits, Karpov's razer sharp military instincts, and the muscle and bravado of Troyak and his Black Death Marines to pull this mission off against the most dangerous foe they have ever faced. It's an amazing twist in the series to try and save the earth itself and everything on it.

ABOUT EARTHFORCE MARS  Linked directly to Volume #70, Earth has completed a 100 ship navy in space and chosen Vladimir Karpov as its CIC. Now Karpov leads a Task Force from the new Earthforce battle fleet to Mars to seek out and eliminate any alien presence there, but he and Fedorov find much more than they were expecting.   The year is 2130, and learning that the Kroth, or the Skeletal Ice Men, will arrive with a new invasion fleet in just five years, Karpov intends to use that time to scour the Solar system and eliminate any Krothi outposts, bases, or ships that remain. He will also establish a military footprint on Mars to hold that planet as Earth's forward base.    Leading a twelve ship squadron, Karpov soon finds Mars is already under attack by raiding Krothi forces. So the war begins early, on Mars, in the Inner Asteroid Belt, at the Moons of Jupiter and Saturn and even farther, to the outer limits of the Solar system near the Kuiper Belt.      In the deep Marineris Valley, Earthforce enters a system of caves in the canyon wall to root out a suspected Krothi base. There, Troyak, Karpov, and Fedorov make a startling discovery about Mars that will change everything then known about the rise of Humanity on Earth.

"In this thrilling, action-packed fourth installment in the Planetside series from acclaimed sci-fi author Michael Mammay, Colonel Carl Butler gears up for another military investigation, full of danger, teetering between life and death...all with a glass of whiskey nearby-perfect for fans of John Scalzi and Craig Alanson"--

But when a recon mission goes awry, this wisecracking ace finds himself stranded behind enemy lines.

Decorated hero or shoot-on-sight vigilante? Somewhere west of the Highway to Hell lies one loyal soldier's hope of making it back home alive...and maybe even saving Texas's soul along the way.
