Marines: Crimson Worlds 1

Erik Cain joined the Marines to get off death row. Thedeal was simple; enlist to fight in space and he would be pardoned for all hiscrimes.

In the 23rd Century, assault troops go to war wearing AI-assisted,nuclear-powered armor, but it is still warriors and blood that win battles.From one brutal campaign to the next, Erik and his comrades fight anincreasingly desperate war over the resource rich colony worlds that havebecome vital to the economies of Earth's exhausted and despotic Superpowers.

As Erik rises through the ranks he becomes a deadly warrior, and he finallyfinds a home, first with the Marines who fight at his side and later among thecolonists - men and women who have dared to leave everything behind to build anew society on the frontier, one where the freedoms and rights lost long ago onEarth are preserved.

But causes can be fleeting, imperfect things. Amidst the blood and death andsacrifice, Erik begins to wonder. Is he fighting the right war? And who is thereal enemy?
