Brittle Systems

From the Author of Absolute Zeros, comes another exciting story in the ICF Universe!Ian Bernard is very far from home. Newly promoted, and possessed with a healthy fear of the outdoors, he's left his wife and son for the first time on a deployment to the sun-scorched dunes of Anius. Dust-storms, sand-worms, and black mold - Buck-Sergeant Bernard is fighting just to keep his head above the shifting sands. But a simple workplace accident uncovers a conspiracy implicating the ICF's elite special operations unit-the Commando Raiders. Caught in the crossfire, he'll face murderous commandos, military bureaucrats, and a particularly tenacious safety investigator. Up against a ticking clock and the galaxy's finest warriors, it'll take luck, wits, and guts if he hopes to clear his name. Unfortunately, time isn't the only thing in short supply.
