Rick Shelley’s Federation War trilogy begins with a novel that takes you through the barracks corridors and the trenches of war, bringing the war of the future home with a combination of battlefield action and home-town heroics. For Doug Weintraub of the Buchanan Planetary Commission, it begins with a fuzzy call, quickly cut off. Federation troops have invaded his world. The battle they’ve long feared and tried to avoid is coming. Now it’s time to seek help, to launch a rocket into Q Space and hope for Second Commonwealth troops to arrive -- and soon. Aboard the Starship Victoria, it begins differently. It’s a short, unexpected message on the screen for Sergeant David Spencer of the Royal Marines. New orders, surprising ones, that will send him and his men to an independent frontier world that’s become a new front in the war between the Commonwealth and Federation. Doug Weintraub and David Spencer soon find themselves in unexpected roles, a skilled warrior in the Royal Marines side-by-side with a back-world farmer. They’ll need each other to keep the Federation at bay. PRAISE FOR RICK SHELLEY: “Rick Shelley was a soldier at heart, and his books were written from the heart. They carry the real feel of the sweat, blood, and camaraderie of those on the front lines.” --Jack Campbell, author of the NY Times bestselling LOST FLEET series

The year is 2804 AD. Humanity has colonized the universe. But the authority of the Confederation of Human Worlds is spread thin. Where the Army of planet Earth cannot reach, mercenaries must keep the peace—and the Dirigent Mercenary Corps are the best of the best.
Lon Nolan wasn't supposed to be serving with the DMC. He'd earned his place at the elite North American Military Academy, and he'd excelled there. But when he's kicked out of the Academy on trumped-up charges, he's left with no choice: join the DMC or go home.
So join he does, going from top of his class to bottom rung in the DMC. To become an officer, he'll have to survive his first taste of combat with his new army, and if he fails, he won't lose just his honor, but his life.
The Dirigent Mercenary Corps books are classics of military science fiction. Rick Shelley was himself a veteran of the U.S. Army, and his experience and knowledge shine through on every page.

As members of the Alliance of Light, humans have committed to the battle against the Ilion Federation, and they're doing their part. But the Alliance's army is fragmented, and to unify their forces, the army's leaders must do the unthinkable: they form the First Combined Regiment, made up of soldiers from every alien race in the Alliance.
The Spec Ops Squad is supposed to be the best of the best, an elite group within the First Combined Regiment to take care of the dirtiest jobs. Sergeant Bart "Dragon" Drak isn't too surprised to learn that these warriors don't have a whole lot in common, and it's obvious that it will take a lot of work to turn a bunch of commandos into a team. He didn't sign up for this, but he's got to see it through.
In the midst of training, the Spec Ops Squad is called off to planet Dintsen to fight off an invasion from the Ilion Federation. With such an elite fighting force, beating them back should be a piece of cake... except Ilion's got the same...]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2001 20:56:31 +0200 Lieutenant Colonel https://science.library.land/rick-shelley/566113-lieutenant_colonel.html https://science.library.land/rick-shelley/566113-lieutenant_colonel.html Lieutenant Colonel
