The aftermath of the attack leaves him in the middle of the world's biggest secret: the existence of government agencies that regulate the supernatural.

As a crumbling Galactic Republic falls to the relentless assault of a merciless foe, so begins the rise of an enigmatic emperor intent on saving a corrupt galaxy-spanning civilization from itself…and from something much darker that lies beyond the reaches of the known.

But the assassins have no idea who they're actually dealing with.

I played all those cool video games. I watched all those movies. I even read the books. In most of 'em, the hero shoots the bad guys, drives a sweet car, never gets hungry, and always seems to get laid by the end. Yeah. Whatever. I gotta be straight with you about why I wrote this journal, and it comes down to one thing, the apocalypse kinda sucks. It doesn’t meet my expectations at all.

Jace Hughes is a Renegade. That means taking almost any job that comes his way, no matter the situation. So long as he can keep his ship floating, he's free to live the life he wants. But that all changes when he meets Abigail Pryar, a nun looking for safe passage out of the system. Too bad there's something off about the cargo she's carrying. Jace knows he shouldn't ask too many questions, but when strange sounds start coming from inside the large, metal box, he can't help but check it out. Big mistake. To make matters worse, he's being pursued by unknown ships - who want that cargo.

Savannah’s late husband, after all, is Arlo Echevarria, the man she left Logan for.

Editorial Reviews
Down and Dirty, by army veteran turned author Len Levinson, is the fifth installation in the Rat Bastard series. This series belongs in the niche of war fantasy fiction. The Rat Bastards don’t have moral qualms or dwell in gray areas. Full of swagger and testosterone, they thrill to combat at every opportunity. Killing legitimizes their existence. Fans of first-person-shooter video games will enjoy this foray into the realm of tropical jungle warfare. Levinson’s military experience and knowledge of war history help him create gritty yet fantastical settings for his die-hards. The Rat Bastards are anti-heroes. They go to jail, have trouble with women, and are only at home on the battlefield. Narrator Ray Porter’s masculine voice guides the listener along this jarring ride.
Publisher's Summary
Death is what life is all about!
It’s hot in the jungle. And with the Rat Bastards, what’s hot becomes sheer hell. Prison can slow them down. Women can make them happy. But it’s killing that keeps them going. In the jungle, every shadow, every noise can mean friend - or foe. They shoot first and ask questions never. For them, the war is always just beginning.…

I can't get enough of these Rat Bastards
Ray Porter kills it like usual and these brutal and graphic stories by Len Levinson are by far some of my favorite historical war fictions.
