This volume contains the next three action-packed standalone novels in the bestselling War's Edge: Berserkers series: Pound of Flesh, Crimson Snow, and Magnificent Bastards, from renowned military science fiction author Ryan W. Aslesen.
The most dangerous job in the galaxy...
As the galaxy's preeminent mercenary force, the Berserkers are equipped with the latest weaponry and hardware, hired by governments and corporations to do the jobs deemed too dangerous and difficult for their forces. Adaptable, agile, and hostile, the Berserkers are built to win battles, able to deploy on short notice to hotspots throughout the galaxy. But it takes more than high-tech weapons to fulfill a contract, it takes men and women with the balls to go into harm's way and do whatever it takes to get the job done. They aren't parade soldiers and nobody survives long in this ugly business without getting their hands dirty. If you find yourself fighting them, you better have your affairs in order, because there is no better friend and no greater enemy.
Considered by many readers and critics as the hardest military sci-fi available, the Berserkers are a must-read for science fiction and thriller fans alike. Volume 2 includes three full-length novels from the bestselling series: Pound of Flesh, Crimson Snow, and Magnificent Bastards.
Pound of Flesh
The mission was simple: escort Dr. Nadir and a team of aid workers through insurgent-held territory to a remote village on Idun-3. Lieutenant Ralph Hague and his platoon had completed far more dangerous assignments fulfilling the Berserker's contract with Biodyne Industries. When an army of radical cultists, The Immortals, arrive in search of Biodyne's research on a life-extending drug, Hague and his troops are redirected into the heart of a war-torn planet to rescue Biodyne personnel and their data from a secret research facility called Outpost 16. Barely escaping, Hague's platoon and the civilians in his charge trek through the deadly jungle, pursued by fanatical Immortal troops and local insurgents hell bent on killing them.
Crimson Snow
Released early from a triple-max military prison, Berserker Lieutenant Allison Rave is given a second chance at a mercenary career. Ordered to the remote, ice-covered world of Lucent-2, she is assigned as a gravtank platoon commander in Task Force Metal, a crack unit tasked with quelling a bloody insurgency. Fanatical enemies and unforgiving weather aren't her only concerns. She must also endure the sadistic brutality and sociopathic machinations of her commander Major Marder, a man willing to sacrifice all-including his Berserkers-to secure his objectives.
Magnificent Bastards
Corporal Jake Murray was determined to make a name for himself in the Berserkers. He had, but in the worst possible way. Banished to the planet Desol for insubordination, Murray finds himself in a tank platoon tasked with protecting a mining colony that doesn't want them there. Desperate for action, Murray finds the greatest enemy is boredom, with little to do other than to drink and fight. That all changes when a remote drill site doesn't report in. Sent to investigate, he and his platoonmates find themselves pitted against an enemy the likes none of them have seen before. Facing a swarm of alien creatures that threaten to annihilate the entire settlement, the mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than just money.
