Synopsis
Set in the Firefight universe, the novel follows a Pathfinder on a missionSet in Mantic Games’s Warpath Universe, this is a fully rearmed and reloaded edition of the novel first published by Mantic. As well as a completely re-edited version of the original First Strike story, also included is a brand-new prequel novella that further expands the background story and the Warpath Universe, titled Crash Protocol. Whether this is your first foray into Mantic’s sci-fi setting, or you missed your chance to get a physical edition in the first printing, this book is a welcome addition to any sci-fi fan’s library. When ruthless aliens invade an apparently backwater world, Drakenhof Marine's best troops are sent to repel them. But they are not the only parties interested in Acreon: the Council of Seven has despatched an elite team of Enforcers led by Lieutenant Commander Roca to investigate. Why has Acreon been targeted by the Veer-myn? Who is paying for its defense? And what secrets are hidden beneath the planet’s surface that, if uncovered, could threaten the stability of the galaxy itself?
