The Infantry — Chuck Grossart

For Captain Ricardo Rico Estrada and the assault troopers of B Company, 3/2 Infantry, their 30-day deployment to Icarus IV was supposed to be a peacekeeping mission. A few simple patrols to show the flag and keep the resistance at bay. But fate had other ideas.***THE INFANTRY is the second of a series of three novella-length stories, each one a stand-alone prequel to my military science fiction novel, FLEET OPPOSED, the first book of THE HAN WARS series (release date October 1, 2019). In each of the three stories, THE AVIATORS, THE INFANTRY, and THE SPACERS, you'll get a glimpse inside three different service communities in the Republic Combined Fleet, and maybe meet a few characters who will make an appearance in FLEET OPPOSED or subsequent books.
