[Blood War 03] • The Conscripts · Fight or Die

Merriam Webster

con·script- a person who is forced to served in the armed services

Dieter Fenes was an out of work and with the Von Fleet Corporation controlling all the jobs you waited until they called. Then Von Fleet corporate security broke in into his corporate owned apartment and dragged him in front of a judge. He had been deemed a debtor by Von Fleet. The judge sentenced him to Debtors Prison.

The Confederation now desperate for troops to fight the invading Xotoli aliens and their human hybrids had instituted a draft. Those rich enough could buy their way out of servicing by paying for the military training those sentenced to debtor prison. Before he knows it Dieter is shipped off to a Penal Battalion to fight the aliens. He must learn to fight or he will die.

Dieter will join General Dasan Sand and his battle hardened Marines like Ja Hu and Mala Nani for the first invasion of an fortified alien planet by the human race.

While the invasion operation moves forward Istas the Anjin assassin has identified an embedded Xotoli human hybrid in one of the highest offices of the Confederation. She must stop the hybrid before it is able to revel the operation to the aliens.
