Military SF Series Debut!


Picking up a Steve Perry book is a no-brainer to me.  I always enjoy his stuff, and this looks like the beginning of a good run.

At the close of the 24th Century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union’s Army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need—and the means—to hire them…

Captained by former Detached Guerrilla Forces Colonel R.A. “Rags” Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best. A specialized team consisting of both aliens and humans, the Cutters offer services ranging from fight training and protection to extraction and assassination—as long as the target deserves it and their employer makes good on payday.

When they’re hired to find and rescue Indira, the soon-to-be-married daughter of the Rajah Ramal of New Mumbai, the teams’ first task is to identify the kidnapper. The obvious suspects are insurgents who want to overthrow the rajanate, but as other forces enter the game and an assassination attempt is made on Ramal, the Cutters realize that their in-and-out extraction job is about to get a lot more interesting—and a lot more lethal…







And for those of you who want to listen...

I know this isn't Steve's fault, so I'm not blaming him, but I'm not paying $7.99 for that as an ebook. It looks pretty cool, but not eight bucks cool...

Yeah, but it's the going NY rate. I paid it without hesitation because I wanted something fun to read and had a blast. And the ebook version won't get lost, torn, or dog-eared when my teen goes through it.
