Trapped like bugs on flypaper! Can these soldiers escape before they all get swatted?
Private Timothy Archon is not a popular guy.
Marooned on a hostile planet, everyone must rely on each other for survival. Otherwise, giant space insects will eat them. But whenever it's Archon's turn to be the hero, someone gets their guts torn open.
It gets worse. Ever since the army chaplain was killed, the person nearest when someone dies has to give the eulogy at the funeral.
Look, not everyone is cut out for public speaking. Archon tries his best, but it comes out full of back-handed compliments, four-letter words, and rude things about the deceased's mother.
Perhaps he better watch his step.
But hold on. As Archon digs deeper to prepare his speeches, he learns more about the fallen. Maybe his unit wasn't stranded on this planet by accident? The dead may have left behind the key not only to securing their rescue but turning the tide of this bleak war.
At the brink of extinction, perhaps there's a chance for even a man like Archon to redeem himself and save his comrades from certain death.
Can Archon puzzle it together and make up for his failures? Or will time run out for them all?
Join the fight for survival on the outskirts of history. Meet a cast of likable scoundrels. Cringe at the terrifying insectoid baddies doing their best to tear them apart!
