War's Edge: Dead Heroes by Ryan Aslesen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Far into the future, the 35th Century to be exact, mankind will have reached the vast spaces of the farthest edges of space and colonies are everywhere. In an attempt to pacify the outer colonies, war rages between governments and corporations in a struggle for ultimate control. Against this backdrop we meet Mark Rizer, a young man who wants to make a difference and with that goal in mind he drops out of college to join the United Systems Alliance Forces as a Marine. As a Marine in the infamous Murder Company, Mark is deployed to Verdant, a jungle moon and dropped into a fight against ghostly foes and the war is brutal, bloody and vicious. Just how far are men willing to go in their pursuit of honor and blind acceptance of orders?
Well written and intriguing, the worldbuilding was very well done. Mark was a great choice for the main characters, he brought an interesting and refreshing POV to the Science Fiction genre.
