After emerging from a coma, Faye Wills opens her eyes to complete darkness and the feeling of being trapped. Soon she discovers she is in no less than a nightmare world and awakens in the worst place imaginable. She is one of thousands of bodies in a makeshift mass grave that was once a football stadium. Left for dead. There are no signs of life and the only sound she hears is the buzzing of flies that follow the stench of death.

Performance incredible, story amazing

I really enjoyed Joy Nashs' narrative. She had a talent for using different voices that felt beleivable. I loved the story from Jacqueline Druga as always. She delivers books that magically make pictures in your mind and characters you either love or hate, but definitely feel something for. Definitely an audible book I highly recommend. And audible books are not my first choice of entertainment as I'd rather read.

Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: Projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporize whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like 18-year-old Jason Wander-orphans that no one will miss-must dare man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure is our extinction.

great but slightly hurt by feminist undertones
Revisado: 01-17-20
The story is honestly very good with original elements and holds up well even with its age. The writing is personal, set in the first person as the protagonist telling their story after it's been completed, and direct without feeling either overly verbose (unlike me) nor unintelligent. The first book, as this is one in a series, sets the stage while keeping things fairly simple compared to the rest of the story and overall. It's clear that the author either served in the military or consulted closely with those that did and integrally understands not just the details of the military but the mindset of those who fight. For me it's nearly a masterpiece....however, if like me you are bothered by such things, it is damaged by the infection of feminist undercurrents. Literally every female character in the book with the exception of the bimbo, whom is written specifically and defined as such, are the best at their job while putting their male counterparts to shame whether it's being an infantry machine gunner or shuttle pilot or the next generation of infantry gunner (who also beats up their male squad mates in first fights because giiiirl power!) It goes slightly out of it's way to make men look like they are lucky to just keep up with the women as bumbling incompetents vs cool professionals. One scene appears to support the very real idea that men are, generally speaking, the sex of choice for executing warfare only to in the very next sentence go "got you, just joking, don't you look stupid for thinking that". Its disappointing to have in a work of such high quality. But if you don't mind or even like such ideologies in you books or media or can get past it then this book and the rest of the series is a must read for any fan of military sci fi. Honestly even if it bugs you like me, it's still likely worth your time.
