Syndicate Wars Part 2 — Justin Sloan

The rebellion against the alien invaders will never be the same.     When all hope seems lost, the Space Marines uncover a secret in the form of a time capsule, a temporal totem that contains a message about how to fight back. Emboldened by the discovery, Quinn and the Marines begin hatching a plan to rebel by joining forces with the resistance, the very soldiers they've been forced to fight.Meanwhile, Sam has been stranded in the no-man's land of vanquished cities littered with both friendly and enemy survivors of the invasion. She's forced to grow up quickly in the face of numerous life-or-death encounters, and soon links up with a ragtag group of guerrilla fighters to kick some serious alien butt.The Potentate watches over everything, biding his time, working feverishly to manipulate the actions of Quinn and the others in the present and in past loops of time. Can Quinn and her warriors stop the Syndicate before the Potentate's master plan is revealed and put into action?Formerly published as books two and three in the series, as THE RESISTANCE and FAULT LINE.SYNDICATE WARS is the perfect mash-up of STARSHIP TROOPERS and THE DIRTY DOZEN. A space opera with heart, great characters, and neverending action, the set-up will suck you in and the characters and story, including a very cool time-travel hook, will keep you wanting more.-- Stephen L'Heureux, Producer Sin City 1 & 2
