Operation Iago

The Confederated Worlds lost the war. Can Lt. Tomas Neumann win the peace? The ceasefire holds by a thread. Under the fragile peace treaty, citizens of the strategic world Arden will vote on their future. Stay with the defeated Confederated Worlds, or defect to the victorious Progressive Republic. Newly-minted Lieutenant Tomas Neumann leads his battle-scarred, undermanned platoon on what should be a straightforward peacekeeping mission. Then Arden's rebels launch coordinated strikes backed by shadowy Republic operatives, and routine becomes a nightmare. His overstretched unit faces enemies who vanish like smoke, using tactics that blur the line between insurgency and invasion. If his mission fails, Arden falls. If Arden falls, a chain reaction could shatter the Confederated Worlds and plunge the galaxy back into total war. Sometimes the hardest battles come after the shooting stops.
