A new story from #1 Best Selling author James David Victor

Jack Forge has been deployed with his unit to a remote alien world on a simple mission. When their ship is attacked and the planet is overrun by Chitins, the Marine who never wanted to be will be forced to take a stand or watch those around him die, including the woman he has come to care for. If Jack can’t be forged into a true Marine, all will be lost.” – Goodreads

Review: Doesn’t matter that he is smart, he still does some stupid stuff. Like opening his mouth when he shouldn’t. It was a little predictable in some places but otherwise, it was a nice surprise where it went. I just like with this series so far, the more you read, the more you want to read the rest in the series. You want to see him develop more, you want to see him progress through the ranks.

Yes, they are short but at the same time, I feel they are the right amount. Just enough to sink your teeth in and get hooked. The Author does them short in order to get the story out there faster to the reader.
