Military science fiction is hot, and this new spinoff from the STARFIST series delivers thrilling action written by two military vets.

An exciting new special-ops adventure from the battle-tested vets who created the popular Starfist series

Jorge Lavager, charismatic leader of the mysterious Union of Margelan, ferociously guards an agricultural research facility on the planet Atlas. What that facility conceals will prove whether Lavager is an idealist seeking to unify Atlas under a banner of freedom and prosperity—or a tyrant aiming to control all of Human Space.

The Marines of Fourth Force Recon’s second platoon are dispatched to Atlas to uncover the truth. They will have to sneak past state-of-the-art surveillance equipment barring unlawful entry to the planet and land in a desolate area miles from their target. And if they discover lethal new weapons instead of legitimate research, the thirty-six Marines are to seize the compound—guarded by merciless, armed-to-the-teeth soldiers—and destroy it. But what the recon team finds on Atlas sets off a chain of events that will force some hard decisions on the Marines . . . and end in a deadly surprise.

Praise for Starfist: Double Jeopardy

"Vivid characters, amazing but believable technology, and explosive action combine in a riveting adventure that proves once again that Cragg and Sherman are the masters of military science fiction. Backshot makes future warfare as realistic as today's front-page stories with its intergalactic politics, in-the-trenches combat, ground reconnaissance, and long-range precision marksmanship. Military fiction of any age or type simply does not get better than this."
    --Michael Lee Lanning, author of Inside Force Recon: Recon Marines in Vietnam and Inside the Crosshairs: Snipers in Vietnam
"Classic military science fiction . . . This is state-of-the-art military SF."
    -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Starfist: Lazarus Rising.
