Battlegroup Z

Protracted war is inevitable.Six weeks ago, Lieutenant Justin Spencer was just another reservist in the Coalition Defense Force. Becoming a lifer wasn't in the cards-until the League of Sol brutally attacked the Terran Coalition. With several pivotal battles now under his belt, friends and strangers alike call Justin a hero. But he finds the accolades difficult to swallow when the night only intensifies images from his first taste of combat.Then he's faced with an active duty extension.The League is hitting supply convoys on their long journeys between the mining colonies. Without the rare minerals, Coalition shipyards can't produce the needed firepower to fight off losses sustained from the enemy's overwhelming forces.An enemy that appears to anticipate the CDF's every play.When the CSV Zvika Greengold is tapped for a black ops action, Justin volunteers to pilot a captured enemy aircraft on what he discovers too late is a suicide mission. For any chance of survival, he'll need to rely on more than sheer skill and dumb luck.He'll need a miracle.

The counter-attack begins now.Captain Justin Spencer has one goal: to execute battle missions with excellence and bring everyone in his galactic fighter squadron safely home. Yet for too long, the Coalition Defense Force has been engaged in a defensive fight with the League of Sol on the Terran Coalition's home turf.No longer.The CSV Zvika Greengold is once again called upon for a highly clandestine assignment – take the war deep into enemy territory and attack the very heart of the League. It's been generations since anyone has seen Earth after the communist League chased humanity's ancestors from their former home, and Justin is eager to lead the squadron of stealth recon fighters for some payback.Regardless of the danger that awaits them.Facing the likelihood of no return, thoughts turn to matters of the heart – and soul. Family reunions are all-too brief. The months-long trip toward Earth gives Justin time to contemplate what waits for them in the great beyond. But when the carrier becomes a floundering fortress, it falls to Justin and the brave men and women of the CSV Zvika Greengold to fight their way to freedom as their ancestors once did – by any means necessary.Or spend the rest of their lives in the hands of a merciless enemy.
