They called it the Red Planet's last stand. For Conscript Zero-79, it's just another suicide drop into hell.
From the frozen depths of Titan to the besieged floating city of Sagan and the icy abyss of Europa, Felix Valda—branded Zero-79—has survived the impossible time and again: acid scars, broken bones, and Hanbiri queens that nearly ended humanity's fragile hold on the outer colonies. But the micronova's nightmare isn't done. The ancient hive swarms have burrowed into Mars' Hellas Basin, turning the Confederacy's largest colony into a chitin-infested slaughterhouse. Fifteen million souls trapped underground, and the Directorate's "solution"? Flood the tunnels with expendable convicts armed with jury-rigged plasma torches that melt flesh as fast as they cut bugs.
Felix and his battered squad—Ghost the silent sniper, Chen the tech wizard, and Remo the maniac with a death wish—are collared and conscripted for the dirtiest op yet: infiltrate the Hellas megadome, purge the queens breeding in the core, and pray the seismic charges don't bury them alive with the civilians. But this isn't just bugs anymore. Whispers of a Hanbiri "Apex" echo through the vents—something bigger, smarter, adapting faster than any weapon can counter. And Felix's ghosts? They're screaming louder than ever, haunted by the thousands he's already "sacrificed" for the greater good.
As alliances fracture between Earth overlords and Mars rebels, Felix must choose: follow orders and watch millions burn, or defy the collar and risk detonation. In a war where survival is zero-point-two percent, one convict's rebellion could ignite the solar system—or doom it forever.
Perfect for fans of Starship Troopers, Old Man's War, and Undying Mercenaries—gritty military sci-fi with nonstop action, squad banter, and impossible choices.
Hellas Zero is Book 4 in the Conscript Zero series. For maximum immersion, start with Book 1: Conscript Zero. Dive in now and join the fight—before the Hanbiri claim another world.
Genre: Science Fiction
