Ghost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798316726134)

The Origo Saga, Book 2. Start with Haven.

The order came down in one line: capture one of the creatures. Alive.

It is a suicide mission with a cage attached, and Major Nick Snow knows it the second the brief ends. The thing they are hunting finds heat, wears the dark like skin, and leaves no body behind. You cannot bag what you cannot see. So the squad builds a doomed little plan around bait, cold suits, and a kill-box they are praying the predator walks into. It does not go the way they drilled it. The first attempt costs them, and the cage comes back empty.

Origo was supposed to be salvation. A green world for a dying species. Instead the colony towns sit gutted and silent, the treeline never quite stops moving, and the men and women who walked off the landing ships learned the hard way that this planet hunts. The survivors are not heroes anymore. They are assets. And the people who sent them across the dark are not done lying to keep this operation alive.

The deeper the squad pushes, the worse the truth gets. The wrecked ships that litter the colony are not dead anymore. Something in the static is whispering. The losses stop feeling like accidents and start feeling like a pattern. And the creatures the brass want bagged and tagged are beginning to behave like something no specimen ever should.

They are not just predators.

They might be the warning.

GHOST is grim, fast military and survival science fiction for readers who want competent soldiers, small-unit combat, real ranks and real ops, and an enemy you never see coming. There is a conspiracy reaching down from the people who are supposed to keep these soldiers alive, a hostile world that wants every last one of them dead, and one quiet love story that was doomed the day the fleet left Earth. The body count climbs. The trust erodes. And by the last page, a line gets crossed that cannot be uncrossed.

War is coming. They just don't know yet who declared it.

Haven proved this world spares no one. Ghost is where the war begins.
