Book excerpt: The Metacorporate War is over. Now comes the hard part. After the death of the Elite Response Force's popular leader, Lonny Meyers assumes command of the United Nation's most powerful military force. So many threats to peace and stability remain that there's no time to search for a new commander. It's sink or swim, with the lives of his soldiers always at risk. Whether hunting for the most dangerous man in human space, fighting illegal armies, or battling a post-singularity AI, there's never a moment's rest for the ERF. If you like small-unit operations in space and on alien worlds, artificial intelligence and robots, and diabolical human traitors, this series is for you. For high-octane military science fiction, grab your copy of the Elite Response Force series. This omnibus collects all five of the ERF novels: Turning Point, Valley of Death, Jungle Dark, Chariot Bright, and Dawn Fire.
