About

On the planet of August, you either fight, or you die. Corporal Edward Riley leads a four-man Marine Fireteam. The four of them find themselves stranded on the surface of August, a planet where magic reigns supreme and monsters terrorise those without The Gift. The Terran's technology, however, is a game changer, and the Augustians covet this new game-changing power in their midst. Forced to abandon ship, Edward leads his team as they fight through insurmountable odds to find their way back to Terran-controlled space, before they die forsaken and far, far from home. A first draft of a first novel, so feel free to give me feedback.
