Description
ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH ...
With the defenses of the Southern Appalachians sundered, the only thing standing between the ravening Posleen hordes and the soft interior of the Cumberland Plateau are the veterans of the 555th Mobile Infantry.Dropped into Rabun Pass, with a couple of million Posleen behind them and fourteen million to the front, the only question is which will run out first: power, bullets or bodies.But they have a hole card: far to the north the shattered SheVa Nine, nicknamed "Bun-Bun," is undergoing a facelift. Rising from its smoking ashes is a new weapon of war, armed with the most advanced weaponry Terra has ever produced, capable of facing both the Posleen hordes and their redoubtable space-cruisers. Capable of dealing out Hell as only SheVa Nine can.But when push comes to vaporization, if Mike O'Neal and the other members of the 555th are going to survive, it will come down to how much Posleen butt Bun-Bun can kick.
Prepare to eat antimatter, Posleen-boy.

Reviews
To forgive is divine
5By tarki0This storyline is summed up by one word, "addictive" but I forgive John. Not because he has anything to be graced for, but I forgive him for writing words that are like an opioid for paratroopers. We shared the same alma mater, the University of Gravity. The description of the landscape, characters and the way they were meshed together kept my attention. "Hymn Before Battle" took me a week to read. As I read it I sensed that I was getting the hook. "Gust Front" took me three days to read. "When the Devil Dances" took me two days. This work took me less than a day to complete. All I can say in summary is to outline how John's work affected my want for more by my favorite author, "Words are of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." You will NOT be disappointed. John's work is "worth it" in so many ways. Airborne is not a condition, it is a state of mind.
