Marines and MythsBook Five of the Marines Saga
by Martin Asiner
Where modern Marines clash with mythic warlords—perfect for readers of Flint and Turtledove.Thrust from the 21st century into 13th century America, a battalion of U.S. Marines is caught in a brutal new world where Viking warlords clash with Native nations for supremacy. Modern firepower once gave the Marines an edge, but twenty years later, their ammunition runs thin and myths of their invincibility are fading fast.
Lieutenant Colonel Alan Trevor has spent two decades trying to forge order in a land drenched in legend and blood. Now a ruthless warlord named Vethar rises, preaching that slaughter is sacred and conquest divine. As Vikings raid and native warriors fight for their homelands, the fragile line between survival and savagery begins to crumble.
When Trevor is wounded in battle, command falls to his son Peter. Outnumbered, betrayed by former brothers-in-arms, and running low on ammo, Peter must decide what it truly means to lead—and whether victory can be won without becoming the monster they swore to fight.
For readers of alternate military fiction, Marines and Myths delivers a gripping fusion of time-travel warfare, brutal alternate history, and high-octane military action.
Packed with explosive battles, tactical ingenuity, and a clash of modern warriors against medieval brutality, this fifth and newest installment of the acclaimed Marines Saga asks one last searing question:
Can honor survive when war itself becomes myth?
This novel can also be read as a stand-alone book, offering a complete and unforgettable story for both new readers and long-time fans of the series.
Genre: Thriller
