The Companion

Former special operator, Dale Parker, did not expect his life would change from one of comfortable retirement to being back in the harness and fighting a tyrannical and fanatical enemy from another planet just... like... that. But it did after just one snow storm in the mountains of Utah. Soon he found himself knee-deep in old secrets, high tech, and an implacable foe.  Add in an empire with deep ties to Earth, a beautiful Imperial Marine with a secret, her brother, and a dog and you have a story of action, adventure, and romance. Plus some humor! Can Dale and his comrades save the Empire and Earth? Or will they fall to a dedicated enemy bent on slavery and ruin? It kinda depends on alot...
