Publisher Description

Old Guns meet Young Guns. Try not to shoot each other.

Frank Cage and Martin Kelvin thought they'd get medals and a lifetime of beer for coming out of retirement to fight the Hollow. Instead, they became fugitives from their own military when they discovered the truth: the Hollow are just scouts for the Halcerite Empire, a brutal alien species that worships warfare and exterminating other races. And humanity is next in their crosshairs.

When Martin gets infected and kidnapped by the enemy, Frank will do whatever it takes to get his old friend back—even if it means teaming up with their greatest adversaries: Halcerite defectors who've rejected genocide.

As the first human colonies vanish in emerald fire, Frank assembles the galaxy's most dysfunctional squad: Young Guns who've never fought a real war and two eccentric aliens who believe Frank's a prophesied warrior destined for victory.

The universe just got a hell of a lot more complicated, and these Old Guns are getting too old for this shit, but they're too stubborn to die without a fight.
