Description

Andrew Keane’s Union army, along with soldiers whose ancestors from medieval Russia and classical Rome were also transported to this planet, have barely recovered from their last battle when the Horde mounts another assault. This has now become a war of annihilation: either humans or the Hordes will survive, but not both. Together with the Chin, liberated by the human army, Andrew, his fellow commander Hans Schuder and their men fight this war with desperate intensity.    Great battle scenes as well as private, often contemplative moments, as both human and the Horde leaders share thoughts with their friends or allies. Fans of Forstchen’s ONE SECOND AFTER will love this tale of survival and courage.   “First-rate storytelling.” - Raymond Feist, New York Times bestselling author “The Lost Regiment series moves like a bullet … an exciting read.” - Locus Magazine "One of the most intriguing writers today in the field of historical and military science fiction." 
- Harry Turtledove, author of THE GUNS OF THE SOUTH and HOW FEW REMAIN [The Lost Regiment series is] “A parallel world of majestic sweep and gripping intensity." 
- L. Sprague de Camp, author of LEST DARKNESS FALL and THE ANCIENT ENGINEERS “Exciting and moves like a bullet with good characters and battle scenes. . . . An excellent read.” - Analog "With Bill Forstchen, you'll get some of the best adventure writing in years!" 
- Science Fiction Chronicle 

"Bill Forstchen is highly respected in the military history community because he is the only one working in the field who understands the operational aspects of war, as well as the tactical and the policy/Strategic levels." - Dr. Dennis Showalter, Past President of the Society for Military History, author of TANNENBERG: CLASH OF EMPIRES William R. Forstchen is the author of over forty books, has a Ph.D. in history from Purdue University and is a Faculty Fellow at Montreat College. His broad spectrum of writing includes science fiction and fantasy, historical fiction, alternate history, several scholarly works, numerous short stories and articles and near-future thrillers ONE SECOND AFTER, ONE YEAR AFTER, THE FINAL DAY, and PILLAR TO THE SKY.
