Story
The Overdrive Corporation has announced another Selection, the exclusive tryout process for aspiring Fortress Masters. Designing maps for the Mech-battling virtual-reality RPG is Julian's dream come true, but a brutal defeat against superstar sniper called Dynamic has destroyed his confidence. Hoping to find a stronger machine, Julian enters an immensely challenging map that promises ultra-rare Mech frames. During the ill-fated mission, he finally learns what it takes to get better. It's not the strength of the machine that matters most, it's the skill of the pilot.

As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look is more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

Summary
We thought we were alone....
We’re going to wish we were.
Jason McKay and Shannon Stark, two young Republic Space Fleet Intelligence officers, are given the leadership of a new special ops unit. The mission? Guard the spoiled daughter of an important senator on a tour of the colonies.
Neither of them thought the mission would be anything more than babysitting...until the aliens invaded the colony.
Implacable, relentless, merciless, the armored creatures slaughter everyone who gets in their way. The team is forced to go on the run with the people they’re supposed to protect.
But survival will be the least of their challenges. Because it’s not as simple as an alien invasion, and the truth may be even stranger than they can imagine.
Jason and Shannon are forced to weigh the lives of the people they lead - and the ones they love - against their duty, honor, and planet.

Great Book and Great Story
This was another great book from Aethon, it was well read and performed. The reader did a great job at adding emotion to the characters and he held the different voices throughout so it was really easy to keep with who was speaking at the time. Will now be looking at the second in the series!

Run, do not walk, to get this book
Rich characters, crisp descriptive prose, engrossing action, thought provoking philosophical concepts! Rick Partlow has done it again. A new series in a coherent universe, Duty, Honor, Planet explores human motivations in a fashion not often encountered in mil sci-fi. Ryan Burke performs Partlow’s new book quite well. I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing further additions in this series. Rick Partlow is becoming a giant among the modern sci-fi authors.

Special ops with a side of alien invasion
Jason McKay led an engagement he did not agree with. He achieved the goal but a lot of lives were lost. When the person who requested the help was talking about it and laughing Jason punched him. He thought he would be court martialed and thrown in prison. Instead he was promoted and given control over a new special ops unit. When Jason reports to the officer in charge nicknamed the ‘Snake’, he finds a man he appreciates what he accomplished given the fact that the orders were bad and he was outgunned. As part of his team, he has second in command Shannon Stark, who believes she should be in charge. Vinny and Jock round out the crew amongst others. His first mission is to babysit a spoiled senator’s daughter who has written a thesis on the abuse that colonists go through and who is looking to cut funding for the military. The senator’s daughter and her finance won’t listen to their security advice and things start to go bad until they get worse when aliens start dropping from the sky.

Not Bad, not great, but not bad...
Firstly, you NEVER, NEVER EVER sleep with ANYONE under your command!!! That is so wrong it is up there with incest. It is like driving over an ied. If it blows, you might survive it, but not likely. Once a Marine, always a Marine. That will ALWAYS be a fact as long as there is a Marine Corps that is or will evolve from the United States Marine Corps. One other thing, Marines DO NOT SAY SARG!!! We EARN our ranks, and the Army says Sarg. So as much as we love the Army when SHTF, we do not like being confused with them. Any of my Marines would have called me Sarg and they would have got a painful wall 2 wall counseling. As for the book, it is good, as is most of Partlow's work. It is his usual military sci-fi, space alien slaying hero protagonist saves the day. Rick Partlow has made the main character Lt. McKay about as close to dumb as one can get. He is caught multiple times where his situational awareness was below complacent when it should have been dialed to the max. I can tell Partlow was definitely Army and probably never had to fire his weapon or had a weapon fired at him in combat. In all his work he actually has special forces style characters doing ignorant crap that a cook would do and not the actions of highly trained infantrymen. One irritating thing, shrapnel does not make scraping sounds on the roof of a vehicle that was not in the blast radius of an explosion. That is the worst line I've ever read (or listened to) in any of Partlow's books. Oh, you NEVER jerk a trigger! I don't care what you are firing. You squeeze a trigger with ONLY your trigger finger. When you JERK a trigger, you use muscles in your shoulders and arms and pulls the muzzle out of your natural point of aim. Boot ignorance is unacceptable in actual former military authors. Pitiful, Partlow. Do better next time.

I think this is great as a stand alone book. As part of a series I'm not sure where they will go from here. Story is interesting and flows well throughout the book. The author does a great job of mixing the story up enough that it doesn't feel boring, repetitive, or overly suspenseful.

This book excels at the character development of the protagonists. Underneath the growing threat of invasion, young military officers have to work through emotional complexities made more challenging by being thrown into cauldrons of violence. I enjoyed this one.
