JR Hume announces the release of his new military SF novel, GEHENNA STATION
For those who don't know it already, JR Hume = Old Guy
Gehenna Station, a novel of the Imperial Marines, is a story of the far future, set against the backdrop of an empire which grew out of the Dark Times following the collapse of the Second Federation. It is a saga of combat and survival, a warrior's tale.
Most Marines will tell you Gehenna Station doesn't exist, that it's a myth. They laugh at tales of a Punishment Platoon occupying a remote blockhouse on the remote desert planet Inferno. Yet, rumors persist. In the midst of the on-again, off-again conflict with the alien Quog none have the time or interest to pursue legends.
Lt. Cord Falco discovers the truth when he is pulled from his Intelligence posting at Fleet Headquarters, accused of vague improprieties and reassigned, under guard and over his vain protests, to command the Punishment Platoon on Inferno.
Men sent to Gehenna Station struggle to survive in a desert populated by predatory raptors, long-extinct dinosaurs brought back by a rogue scientist during the terraforming of Inferno. Raptors have grown numerous. They are curious creatures, smart and tough -- much like Marines.
Falco and his men must become better killers than the raptors.
Then there are the Quog. Always the damn Quog.
Gehenna Station is available via Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/content/217060
