The Blood Service

He wasn't a super soldier. Nothing special at all.

At just thirteen, Aaron Havenes had been sentenced to life, and shipped off to the outer rim where he would labor for the Empire until the end of his days, toiling in mines and construction. It was hardly fair, but he had made his peace with it, even found a clan of like-minded miscreants to call family. Now, he could lose what little he has.

A desperate Naval Colonel needs manpower to defend the colony, and he's about to make a historic offer: any Capital Convict that serves a tour o nthe front-line will earn their freedom.

Conscripts for War, front-line meat to scrap against the vicious alien threat that sieges the colony's wals. It's a glimmer of hope even cynical Aaron can't pass up...

The convicts are expected to die—one last service to the Empire. But the aliens in the mountains have other plans for young Aaron Havenes...
