There is a newer edition of this work available: In a galaxy where loyalty is tested and freedom is a battleground, one Marine rises to the challenge. In the first of the Jackson Mason series, we catch up with Gunnery Sergeant Mason's past history. A history of a three-year retreat across the known galaxy until an event that would forever change the course of his life. Trials of fierce combat, and his continuing honor and dedication to those he calls comrades. As the war escalates, Mason's rise in rank is accompanied by a growing suspicion of foul play at the heart of the conflict. His loyalty is pushed to its limits as he grapples with the profound consequences of his discoveries, leading to a thrilling and suspenseful turn of events. Mason is thrust into a perilous task in a galaxy engulfed in a war rife with political corruption and corporate greed. He must navigate a treacherous path to secure the safety of his comrades, even if it means putting his own life on the line! A galaxy filled with many different players, races, and sovereignties. Mason will find many friends, comrades, and even saviors as he fights to see his people survive, find prosperity, and live in freedom. Mason will find both lifetime comrades and scheming stooges looking for a way to bring him down along his journey.
