Take time to digest the contents of this book. The hidden context of the battle about human nature to survive in the face of overwhelming odds really comes through.
Fight or Die: epic historical and military science fiction

A brilliant book both men and women will enjoy, as historical and futuristic characters mix in a fight to save us all. You\\\'ll love the characters, share their mission, their spirituality, their desperation. A meaty epic to satisfy the most discriminating reader.
