Men of Bretton

The soldiers of the 11th Bretton Infantry knew they were being dropped into a combat zone on Dharien. But they didn't know just how bad things really were, with the entire planet about to fall to the rebel Flags. The orders from the Highest are clear: make their way to Tabuk and keep the city under the banner of the Hegemony.

For Mason Tellec, it's one more combat mission--with a difference. Noah, his younger brother, is along for the ride this time, and Mason has promised his mother and father he'll keep an eye out. Noah's green, but he's got the makings of a good soldier.

But the jungle of Dharien holds many dangers--something Felix Ibensen knows all too well. He's alone, lost, and trying to find his way back to Hegemony-controlled territory, the only survivor of a Flag ambush.

Mason, Noah, and Felix are on a collision course, with each other and with their destinies--for the actions of the Men of Bretton may have implications that reach to the highest echelons of the Hegemony.
