description: No one captures the action and sacrifice of war better than real combat vets David Sherman and Dan Cragg. Now their blazing space epic Starfist continues as Marines of the Confederations Thirty-fourth Fleet Initial Strike Team (FIST) go head-to-head against the deadly Skinks. Of course Company Ls third platoon has fought these aliens before but never in these numbersPlanet Haulover has been invaded by Skinks. Until now the aliens existence has been kept confidential. But Force Recons shocking report leaves the Confederation no choice but to mount a military campaign and reveal to the public its biggest secret: the threat of fierce alien predators bent on human destruction. Whats no secret is that the four army divisions and two Marine FISTs sent to Haulover arent nearly enough to defeat the well-entrenched aliens who have a tunnel system second to none.Back home the Confederations president is being denounced as a warmonger bent on exterminating harmless aliens. And if she loses the upcoming elections the Confederation will have a lot more Skinks than those on Haulover to worry about.Newly promoted Lieutenant Charlie Bass and his third platoon have more pressing concerns such as staying alive. But what would be a suicide mission for mostwhether its raiding a hidden Skinks base or destroying the enemys most lethal weapons during a desperate firefightis for them just another job.
