Orphan Brigade : The Sim War: Book Two
Author(s): Henry V. O'Neil
The action-packed sequel to Glory Main
Life has not been easy for Lieutenant Jander Mortas since making it to the Glory Main headquarters—with a telepathic alien entity in tow. After turning down his powerful father's offer of a desk job as an ambassador, Jander is heading back to the war zone. After joining an emergency reaction force of combat veterans known as the Orphans, Jander must work hard to get his platoon in shape for the next deployment—while learning the ropes himself. Because disaster soon strikes, and the Orphan Brigade is shipped out to Fractus, a harsh planet invaded by the enemy—the Sims.
Meanwhile, Jander's sister, Ayliss, is on a mission of her own: to uncover a scandal that would bring an end to her father's dubious reign as Chairman of the Emergency Senate. But Olech Mortas is hiding even more than his children could ever know …
Review(s):
“A well-written, fast, and compelling read. Henry V. O’Neil certainly knows the military, and knows how to craft an engrossing story. ... Glory Main is everything an updated version of Starship Troopers should be, a cracking good read.”
“A strong military science fiction debut. ... Glory Main is a satisfying story of survival against all odds and I look forward to whatever book two of The Sim Wars has to offer.”
