—Analog, on the Confederated Worlds series
The Confederated Worlds lost the war.
Can Lt. Tomas Neumann win the peace?
The ceasefire holds by a thread. Under the fragile peace treaty, citizens of the strategic world Arden will vote to remain with the defeated Confederated Worlds—or defect to the victorious Progressive Republic.
Newly-minted Lieutenant Tomas Neumann leads his battle-scarred, undermanned platoon on what should be a routine peacekeeping mission. But when Arden's rebels launch coordinated strikes backed by shadowy Republic operatives, routine becomes a nightmare. His overstretched Ground Force unit faces enemies who vanish like smoke, using tactics that blur the line between insurgency and invasion.
The stakes couldn't be higher. If his mission fails, Arden falls to the enemy—triggering a domino effect that will shatter what remains of the Confederated Worlds and plunge the galaxy back into total war.
Sometimes the hardest battles come after the shooting stops.
