To save humanity, Earth sold its sons and daughters to an alien war machine.

After a global collapse leaves humanity starving, Earth cuts a deal with a powerful alien empire: food, technology, and a chance to keep the species alive in exchange for one small detail—our soldiers now belong to them.

Mark Calder used to be a paramedic in New Orleans. His old job involved saving lives, terrible coffee, and occasionally getting yelled at by people who thought WebMD made them doctors. His new job involves being dropped into an interstellar meat grinder where everything wants to kill him, half the command structure is incompetent, and “routine mission” is military code for prepare to die.

As Mark and his squad are thrown into one impossible battle after another, they’ll have to survive alien monsters, catastrophic leadership, and the growing suspicion that the people in charge may be every bit as dangerous as the enemy.

Good news: they’re heavily armed.

Bad news: so is everyone else.

We Were Soldiers is a military sci-fi thriller packed with brutal combat, dark humor, desperate odds, and the kind of squad banter that usually means somebody is about to have a very bad day.

If you like cynical soldiers, giant war machines, hopeless missions, and heroes who save the world while complaining professionally, this one’s for you. Pick up your copy now and dive into a war where survival is never guaranteed.
