Amasia: The Orion War

By Kali Altsoba

If a tsunami of aggression is to be stopped, Amasia is the place to stop it. The contested supercontinent of Lemuria stretches nearly pole-to-pole, from high arctic ice through tundra and savanna, down through deep forest and across harsh deserts to reach the southern mountains and yet more ice and rock.Opposing walls and triple trench systems stretch 23,000 klics north-to-south, and are 800 or more wide with deep military hinterlands behind and lethal, Dark Territory in-between. That's the no-go zone troops call The Black or the Yue Ming, the obscure region where the living go to die and the dead are not allowed to rest.Fighting off-world and on is constant, the attrition appalling. Amasia is already host to the most savage fighting in all the histories of the Thousand Worlds. Amasia hides a great secret. Purity fanatics know this, and want it. If they get it, they win. Alliance forces say to that, "They Shall Not Pass " Is it a promise they can keep?SECOND EDITIONKali Altsoba is the pen name of the military historian Cathal J. Nolan, winner of the Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History and the Distinguished Book Award from War on the Rocks. His books have been feature reviewed in major military and history journals and in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The National. His military fiction starts with the Orion War series. Forthcoming is White Sails, which will follow Jan and Zofia and the Wreckers offworld on commando raids and into naval and marine battles, even as the fight between mass armies continues on Amasia and dozens more invaded and contested worlds.
