Summary
Military journalist Raymin Dahl thinks he’s finally getting the story of a lifetime. Secret peace talks on a remote tropical moon are about to surrender five colonized worlds—and six hundred million civilians—to a ruthless enemy.
But when his commanding officer, Captain Ansell Sterling, is fatally wounded before the negotiations can begin, Dahl can no longer just report on the mission. He’s ordered to complete it. With help from the AI embedded in Sterling’s comms bracelet, Dahl must impersonate his commander—a Marine Corps hero and psychological operations expert.
However, Sterling’s AI may be luring him to surrender more than he realizes. And the mission Corporal Dahl thinks he’s running isn't the only operation underway.
Critic Reviews
"Inverting the perspective of most military science fiction, Schwabauer puts the soldiers behind the journalist in this topsy-turvy novel of far-future psychological operations." — Publishers Weekly
"Operation Grendel is sci-fi at its finest. Fun and incredibly clever, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. Grab a copy. It’s fantastic!” — Jill Williamson, award-winning author of By Darkness Hid (Jill Williamson)
“I’ve been waiting ages to read this book! Now it’s here. Or, as Star-Lord would say: ‘Finally!’” — Nadine Brandes, author of Romanov and the Out of Time series (Nadine Brandes)
“Uncharted realms. Unfathomable odds. Unexpected twists. Operation Grendel will spark your imagination, quicken your pulse, and keep you questioning what's real . . . and what's next!” — Allen Arnold, author of The Story of With and Chaos Can't (Allen Arnold)
