The Shattered Ones - 9798985020823

NO ONE EVER CARED MUCH ABOUT THIS TERRITORY

Gabriel just wants to do his job and be left alone. The alien oppressors of his childhood may be gone, but their legacy of unearthly technology, nightmarish monsters, and ordinary people developing Shattered powers still lingers. With the violent past threatening to become a bloody present, Gabriel joins forces with the other members of his base-men and women of the Earth Defense Force who successfully pushed the xenos back into space eight years ago.

Seven veterans. One rookie. None of them ever had the families they dreamed of, but battle forges a bond stronger than blood. When the unthinkable happens, Gabriel must trust his newfound family, find his own courage, and embrace the truth he's always known-that even the worst places and most broken people deserve someone who's willing to fight for them.
