Publisher Description
Lieutenant Jack Strong leads his team of elite marines to a distress beacon in the far reaches of colonization. Expecting faulty equipment, they instead find themselves in the first stages of war against a species similar to mythical demons.
The Colony is a fantastic short story of military warfare and science fiction, with an ending that will leave you questioning everything.
Customer Reviews
Decent Read
Decent story and plot. But…. Seems to be written with auto correct on. Example : Marine Core instead of Corp. Also confuses XO (executive officer) for CO ( commanding officer) in several spots. Editing seems somewhat poor. Otherwise an enjoyable read.
Great story , great book
These marines touch your heart.
Corny
Corny in the extreme. Story line not bad. An editor would have been nice many errors and wrong words.
The aliens have razor sharp wings that they seem to like to use on almost all other victims with the exception of the hero. He would have had no chance in hand to hand combat against them.
The author preaches for two pages after the book should have ended.
