Jupiter Wars — Kenneth Guthrie

This book is around 13,000 words in length.

Resource rich Jupiter is burning in the fires of a war of desperation initiated by the forces of the human worlds and the mega-resource corporations that dominate human society.

Hardened fighter Rex Pain of the elite space marines has arrived on Jupiter to fan the flames of the war effort. However, a chance encounter with a artillery round sends his (admittedly foolish) commander straight to hell (as Rex hopes) and leaves our heroic marine in charge of a rag-tag bunch of men with a 'do or die' mission on the books that will test them to their limits.

Rex must lead, fight and survive the most intense battle of his life if he wants to live to tell the tale. Can Rex complete his mission with so few men? Will he live through the nightmare that the HQ has forced on him? In the end is Rex tough enough to defeat the ultimate threat that awaits him in a solder packed camp?

*****

This is another great book by long-term sci-fi writer Kenneth Guthrie in the Space Marine Series. Jupiter Wars takes place before the events of Slave (Space Marine #1) in the timeline of the series. Enjoy!
