Overview

The Berserkers forged him into a weapon. They've regretted it ever since. When Jack Ames fled the choking sprawl of his dystopian homeworld, he never meant to crash-land in the Berserker Corps-the galaxy's deadliest mercenary outfit. But he found a new home. Strapped into a 135-ton gravtank or leading a power-suited grunt platoon, Ames is a tactical savant and a fearless warrior, turning battlefields into his personal canvas of chaos. Off-duty, his benders and bedroom conquests are stuff of Corps legend, rivaled only by the cataclysmic hangovers the morning after. Trouble is Ames sucks at blind obedience. Clueless officers, light-years from the shrapnel storm, bark orders that bleed good soldiers dry fast. So he shreds the playbook, launching audacious, seat-of-the-pants maneuvers that snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. His troopers hail him as a hero; the top brass brands him a cancer, stripping rank, slamming cell doors, and shuffling him through endless reassignments in a haze of court martials and office hours. Through it all, Ames grapples with the mirror: gifted soldier or architect of his own ruin? The Berserkers want him gone. But Ames fights dirty-on the field and off. Love him or loathe him, demote him or decorate him; he'll get the job done or die trying. Orders be damned! From USA Today Bestseller Ryan W.
