Part of The Captive's War
First published 2024
The galaxy burns with humanity's endless conflict, and conventional soldiers cannot turn the tide. Enter the Livesuit forces, warriors who merge their flesh with cutting-edge technology to become something beyond ordinary humans. These enhanced fighters represent humanity's final gambit against perpetual destruction that spans star systems and generations. The transformation comes at a cost, as soldiers sacrifice their humanity for the power needed to combat an enemy that threatens total extinction. In this brutal future, victory demands becoming more than human while risking the loss of everything that makes them human in the first place. The war may never end, but the Livesuit program offers the only path forward through the carnage. This opening chapter of Corey's Captive's War universe explores what soldiers will sacrifice when survival itself hangs in the balance.
