The aliens didn't invade. They made an offer that humanity, desperate and starving, couldn’t refuse.

Earth is dying. The crops are gone, the governments are mostly gone, and what's left of civilization is running on rationed hope and bad decisions. Then the Veylorians arrive with food, technology, and a contract. One hundred thousand human soldiers per year, to fight their wars across the galaxy.

Mark Calder used to save lives for a living. He was a paramedic in New Orleans—bad coffee, impossible hours, patients who diagnosed themselves on WebMD and were wrong every single time.

Now, he’s dropped into an interstellar meat grinder with a squad of strangers, facing enemies that make his worst shifts look like a spa day. The monsters are terrifying. The mission parameters are suicidal. And the growing suspicion that his superiors are more dangerous than the enemy is somehow the most disturbing part of all.

On the bright side, he's heavily armed. That's about where the good news ends.

Ashes of Terra is military sci-fi the way war stories are supposed to be: brutal, darkly funny, and uncomfortably human. For fans of cynical soldiers, impossible odds, and heroes who save the galaxy while questioning every life choice that led them there.
