In the year 2129, the settlement of other star systems has begun in earnest.
Unfettered by Earth’s laws, the colonizing corporations build their military in response to separatist rumblings throughout their fledgling colonies—and to the threat of Chinese competition out among the stars.
On a remote island in the Castoran ocean, former Australian rifleman Craig Darlow competes with three other candidates for acceptance into the Corporate Union’s elite Blackcaps unit.
The going is tough. Damned tough. But when a freighter mysteriously crash-lands on their island testing grounds, the trial of their lives becomes a contest for their survival.
Caught between corporation-created horrors and an unreliable truce with his fellow candidates, Darlow must decide if his redemption lies in becoming the perfect soldier—or in daring to define courage and leadership on his own terms.
This all-new action-adventure sci-fi novelette is set in CUSET’s foundational period, 16 years before EVENTIDE.
Genre: Science Fiction
