We Were Martyrs
(2026)(The second book in the Flesh and Chrome Trilogy series)
A novel by Sean Robins
Mark Calder’s day was already bad before the warship above him exploded.
What was supposed to be a routine assignment—guard a shield generator, babysit an alien militia, try not to get killed—turns into a full-scale disaster when thirty humans in chrome combat frames find themselves stranded on a hostile world with no backup, no rescue, and roughly four thousand angry alien murder-lizards marching toward two million civilians.
So, you know. Not ideal.
Now Mark and his squad have one job: holding a collapsing defense line against an enemy that keeps finding new and exciting ways to ruin their day. They are outnumbered, outgunned, running low on power cells, and increasingly forced to rely on sarcasm, bad ideas, and the kind of heroism that usually gets people turned into statues after they’re dead.
As the body count rises and the situation goes from catastrophic to deeply creative in its awfulness, Mark and his team make the only choice they can live with: stand and fight.
Even if they probably won’t live through it.
We Were Martyrs is a brutal, funny, high-stakes military sci-fi novel about impossible battles, alien slaughter, dark humor, and the stubborn idiots who stay anyway.
Grab your copy now and enjoy the chaos, carnage, and catastrophic decision-making from the safety of your couch!
