"Fans of military sci-fi will find plenty to love about this series-opener: a promising protagonist, a colorful band of brothers, and plenty of powered armor battle action."

Who is Promise Paen?
Promise has been compared to Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck meets STARSHIP TROOPERS, with a dash of FIREFLY.
UNBREAKABLE and INDOMITABLE made "best-of" lists from B&N, Amazon.com, i09, and The Verge. Andrew Liptak of B&N's Sci-fi Blog counted UNBREAKABLE among 5 New Books that Show the Future of Military Sci-Fi. Mysterious Galaxy and Powell's bookstores honored UNBREAKABLE with a "staff pick." But Promise is a character all her own. I hope you get the chance to meet her. See my post titled "Becoming Promise Paen" for more about her.

“Bauers puts together characters who take up residence in your heart, the cold-blooded politics of the "Great Game," the power of devotion and loyalty, and the human cost carnage extracts from even the most courageous. I highly recommend it.”
--David Weber, New York Times bestselling author of the Honor Harrington series
