Description

Havoc Squad. Shooting alien scumbags on their home turf.

Flying in the face of common sense, the Unity League has decided to send a peace mission into Ragger space. A single shuttle named Colorado carries the hopes of billions.

Lieutenant Tanner Conway finds himself amongst the delegation. He isn't happy, having fought the Raggers before - he knows you can't make peace when the enemy sees you as cattle to be slaughtered and eaten.

Fortunately, the ULAF high command is led by experienced officers who aren't stupid enough to trust the Raggers either. The result: a mission for Captain Jake Griffin. He's tasked with following the Colorado in a heavily-armed assault craft to watch for signs of treachery.

When betrayal comes, Griffin delivers retribution in the form of a nuclear warhead, which wipes out much of a primary Ragger facility and almost wrecks his spaceship. He ends up trapped in a place far beneath the ground.

Elsewhere, Conway and his squad are left in the ruins with no hope of rescue. Somehow, they must fight their way to safety. The odds are overwhelmingly stacked against them. The Ragger base isn't completely destroyed and the aliens have spaceships as well as thousands of ground troops. Conway's goal lies right where the enemy are strongest.

The coming few days will be a test that neither Griffin or Conway wanted. Both are amongst the few with the skills to succeed. Success or failure may be undecided, but the death of many Raggers is guaranteed.

Havoc Squad is a fast-paced military sci-fi shooter filled with guns, tech and warfare. It follows on from book 2 in the Fire and Rust Series: Alien Firestorm.
