About This Book

From the back cover: The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces, elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into the perfect soldiers for the CDF's toughest operations. They're young, fast, strong, and totally without normal human qualms. The universe is a dangerous place for humanity -- and it's about to become more dangerous.
