Short description

The Confederated Worlds implanted in his brain the skills to make him a soldier. He had to learn for himself how to survive interstellar war.

Extended description

Tomas Neumann enlists to escape his small town on an isolated planet, his mother's strict religious tenets, and the absence of his dead father. But he needs more than implanted combat skills to survive the campaign on New Liberty. Experienced men in his new unit reject him. His platoon commander fails to lead. Interservice rivalries divide the Confederated Worlds' war effort. And when the inhabitants of New Liberty launch a guerrilla resistance, a spiral of atrocities wound him in body and spirit. Can Tomas learn everything he needs in time to survive the war and grow into the man he is capable of becoming?
