Publisher's summary

There's nothing glorious about war—despite what movies and books often show. Military veteran and author Jason Lambright shares its ugly side in the sci-fi novel The Captain's Cauldron.

Captain Paul Thompson can't just shake off the rigors of war after his combat on Juneau 3, and his injuries are severe enough that his military career may be over. But the trauma runs even deeper—impacting not only him, but also those he loves.

Paul finds his way back thanks to his family and treatment at a veterans hospital. He marries his high school sweetheart, and life is good. But the happiness is short-lived when Paul and other humans hear that telepathic aliens nicknamed the Harpies have invaded the distant world of Brasilia 4. Soon Paul is recalled to service to lead a company in Operation Cyclone and take back the planet.

Casualties mount as the battalion faces new dangers. It will take all Paul has to make it through.

Both the grit and the sorrow of war come alive in Lambright's gripping novel about what it's really like to fight on the front lines—and how the struggle isn't over once a soldier returns home.
