<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An Angry Robot paperback original"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Coast Guard must prevent the first lunar war in history.<br>A lifelong Search-and-Rescuewoman, Coast Guard Captain Jane Oliver is ready for a peaceful retirement. But when tragedy strikes, Oliver loses her husband and her plans for the future, and finds herself thrust into a role she's not prepared for. Suddenly at the helm of the Coast Guard's elite SAR-1 lunar unit, Oliver is the only woman who can prevent the first lunar war in history, a conflict that will surely consume not only the moon, but earth as well.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"It's incredibly refreshing to find a sci-fl novel with a female protagonist who's a confident woman in her fifties... The author's experience in the Coast Guard lends a strong sense of verisimilitude to his portrayal of military operations, and his action scenes sizzle with the rush of adrenaline... Briskly paced, the book strikes a fine balance between military minutiae and imagination."<br><b> <i> - SFX Magazine</i></b> <p/>Cole leverages his real-life military background to create a believable depiction of conflict in space with an emphasis on authentic characters.<br><b> <i> - Kirkus </i></b> <p/>Cole weaves a fantasy world that feels comfortably familiar, then goes to places you'd never expect.<br><i><b>- Peter V.
