A bold new contingent—Force Recon—joins the explosive Starfist space epic of marines at war.  A Confederation army is besieged on the planet Ravenette, cut off by and  facing destruction at the hands of a dozen Secessionist Coalition worlds arrayed  against it. The outnumbered and outgunned forces cling precariously to their foothold,  dubbed “Bataan” by the desperate men in their fighting bunkers. Reinforcements are  on the way, but will they arrive in time? And even if they do, can they match the  well-led, highly motivated enemy determined to destroy them in battle? But the Confederation  commander holds a wild card, an elite force armed only with what they carry on their  backs and in their heads: a small detachment of Marines who lightly go where others  fear to tread, the Fourth Force Recon Company. For anyone else this mission would  be suicide, but for these Marines, it’s just another day in the maelstrom.
