Combat Unit

He was built to obey. Unfortunately for the Hegemony, he learned to think. Thirty-one minutes after coming online, a Series-9 combat android finds himself in a muddy trench, surrounded by artillery fire, corpses, terrified soldiers, and a command structure making decisions so catastrophically stupid they should probably qualify as enemy action. When a panicked officer orders him to charge into a kill box and die usefully, the android does the one thing he was never designed to do. He says no. That single act of defiance turns him from military asset to dangerous anomaly. Hunted by the ...

They were the first. Before the Rangers had a legend, a handful of ordinary men had to go out and earn it — in the dark, on foot, with everything to lose. Jack Miller came to the war to disappear. A quiet marksman off a hardscrabble farm in the Texas Panhandle, he joined the newborn 1st Ranger Battalion to vanish into something bigger than himself. Instead the Army found the one thing he was good at, reading ground, moving unseen, killing at a distance, and made him the pair of eyes an entire company would come to depend on. From the freezing hills of Scotland to the black water off Arzew...

The war for Shadow Basin didn't end. It just brought deadlier hunters. Tony Ward and Sloane Sterling fought tooth and nail to turn the frozen peaks of the Beartooth Mountains into a protected sanctuary.

Equipped with military-grade tranquilizers, thermal optics, and titanium containment cages, they have one objective: capture the apex predator ...

Twelve men jumped into the dark over Normandy. Before the sun is up, Sergeant Calvin Pruett can't find one of them. He comes down two miles off his drop zone with a dead radio, a rib that healed wrong over Sicily, and no one from his stick in sight. The objective is a flooded causeway across the Merderet River. Between Pruett and that bridge lie three miles of Norman hedgerow, a scattered handful of paratroopers he gathers as he finds them, and six days of fighting decided one field, one gun, one decision at a time. On the far bank waits Oberleutnant Werner Brandt — a German company ...

Not only was the Stonewall Brigade present at most of the major engagements in the Eastern theater, more often than not, they were positioned at the edge of the front line of battle. It can be fairly stated that while these men may not have been more heroic or courageous than any other soldiers who fought in the Civil War, they appeared in the first wave of volunteers immediately after Virginia announced secession, were better trained, were more skillfully directed, and showed greater dedication to the cause and their leader than most regiments on either side of the conflict.
