A Heart of Ice

The Great War, Book 4

By: Ralph Kern

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

The largest invasion in the history of the galaxy begins.

The People’s territory is a prize ripe for the Hegemony’s taking. Their worlds myriad. Their resources immense. From the highest echelons of government to the citizen toiling, it is a beacon of equality and a worker’s paradise.

Except some are more equal than others. To disobey, even to question, means death. Or worse.

Private Iriana Sharov is just one soldier in the People’s army of millions. When Hegemony assault ships darken the skies and disgorge legions of merciless troopers and mechs, she learns they are all merely pawns for their masters to sacrifice on an uncaring whim.

The two brutal empires collide. For Sharov and her comrades, hope is measured in surviving each day, even each hour, as it comes. But when she discovers her skill with a sniper rifle, Sharov soon finds herself a hero of the People.

Her odyssey will take her from the battlefields of an agricultural world, through the vicious street fighting of a labyrinthian factory moon, and into the very corridors of power in the People’s capital city.

But the greatest danger isn’t the Hegemony and its vast armies of ever-advancing troops and war machines. It is telling the truth to those who don’t want to hear it.

For thrilling infantry and mech combat, get the next intense novel of the Great War.

Desperately Seeking an Editor

I would have enjoyed it thoroughly if not for the continued jarring hiccups of insufficient editing :-/ Many of the problems even felt like heavy-handed find/replace errors left unpolished. Really??!? But, yes, a good enough story trying to escape the bonds of the writing.

This is an awesome book to read I love all of the details!

This is an awesome book to read I love all of the details! I will like to read more!

An honest rating of 2.5 stars for a set of books that was decent enough but no life changing experience.

Let's try to fix this system, please. Why do ppl give so many 5 star ratings, that puts those books on the same level as The Three Body Problem or Dune which I would rate 4 to 4.5, I'd still have to save some room for To kill A Mockingbird, a true 5 star book.
