Enlisted to fight, and possibly, to die. Percy may have no idea what he has gotten into, but finds himself part of a battle that has dragged on through the centuries.  Seventeen years pass. The battle resumes. In a war that is about to come to a head. Death Brood is the latest novella by Tony Monchinski, author of Killers of Men and Yeren.
