A smooth-talking ex-sergeant, accustomed to an easygoing peacetime military, unexpectedly re-joins the fleet and finds soldiers preparing for the strangest thing war.
The two hundred years (and counting) peace is a time of tranquility that hasn t been seen since...well, never. Mankind in the Galactic Age had finally conquered war, so what was left for the military to do but drink and barbecue? That s the kind of military that Sergeant R. Wilson Rogers lived in before he left the fleet to become a smuggler.
But it turns out that smuggling is hard. Like getting-arrested-for-dealing-with-pirates-and-forced-back-into-service kind of hard. It doesn t seem so bad the military was a perpetual tiki party anyway but when Rogers returns after only a year away, something has changed. These are soldiers actual soldiers doing actual soldier things like preparing for a war that Rogers is sure doesn t exist. Rogers vows to put a stop to all this nonsense even if it means doing actual work.
With an experienced ear for military double-speak, Zieja has created a remarkable and sarcastic adventure."
