Description:There's nothing glorious about war--despite what movies and books often
show. Military veteran and author Jason Lambright shares its ugly side
in the sci-fi novel The Captain's Cauldron.
Captain Paul
Thompson can't just shake off the rigors of war after his combat on
Juneau 3, and his injuries are severe enough that his military career
may be over. But the trauma runs even deeper--impacting not only him,
but also those he loves.
Paul finds his way back thanks to his
family and treatment at a veterans hospital. He marries his high school
sweetheart, and life is good. But the happiness is short-lived when Paul
and other humans hear that telepathic aliens nicknamed the Harpies have
invaded the distant world of Brasilia 4. Soon Paul is recalled to
service to lead a company in Operation Cyclone and take back the planet.
Casualties mount as the battalion faces new dangers. It will take all Paul has to make it through.
Both
the grit and the sorrow of war come alive in Lambright's gripping novel
about what it's really like to fight on the front lines--and how the
struggle isn't over once a soldier returns home.
