Full Description
Books #6 in Tom Kratman's Carrera military science fiction
series.
Tarawa. Iwo. Normandy. Names that shine in the military history of two
worlds, places where brave men stormed ashore and fought their way to victory no
matter the odds. But then there are other names: Marathon. Malta. Gallipoli.
Balboa's Patricio Carrera has driven the Tauran Union from his adopted
country, driven them out with appalling loss and worse humiliation. That's
not enough though. To finally finish his enemies, Carrera needs to draw them
back for a more telling defeat. He cannot take the battle to them because,
beyond some long range bombardment capability, he cannot reach them. But when
they return, they don't plan to come alone; they insist on having someone
else do most of the bleeding for them. Carrera understands this. And
that's why he's provoked the Zhong Guo mercilessly, infuriating
their ruling Empress. He needs the Zhong in the war, to buck up the Taurans to
continue the war to its bitterest end. Now, Carrera's enemies are about to
learn why the expression "blood-stained water" is not just a literary
allusion.
