In a near future where war has spread across the globe, Russia is being pushed back by combined Chinese and North Korean forces. Nick Morrow, a convict conscripted into a unit known as 47 Echo, has been told that his life matters little so long as the missions get done. The squad answers to a Marine officer who holds its members in open contempt, and its job is to hold ground in a country that is already broken.

Nick is the half-Chinese drifter no one expects much from, and the others treat him as expendable. Yet his sense of honor, his analytical mind and his fighting skill may be exactly what the unit needs to survive the front lines. The harder question is whether he can outlast the violent crimes buried in his own past.

A military science-fiction thriller with plenty of combat, the book follows a group of disposable soldiers fighting for their lives.
