A war with no end. A vendetta that will destroy two commanders.

The war between the Alliance and the Hegemony has spanned countless stars and shed untold blood on a hundred worlds.

For two commanders, Alliance Captain Alcazar and Major Richter of the Hegemony the war has spiraled into a personal feud. Both lead fierce Marines and mechanized soldiers into battle against the other on the green hell of the planet Ayutthaya, and each new fallen warrior only deepens the bitterness and hatred between the two.

But as the conflict rages, the two warriors realize they have more in common than they dare to admit, and their own codes of honor may be what can bring the bloodshed to an end.

If they don’t kill each other first.

US Army and Marine Corps veterans Richard Fox and Jonathan Brazee write the grueling head-to-head action in this military science fiction war novel. Each is a Nebula Award and Dragon Award finalist, with Richard winning the Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction Novel. Their war time experiences and years as officers in the United States Military creates a novel that no one else could write, and a story that takes you deep into the darkest moments of war.

Q&A with Richard Fox:

Is this the end of the Ember War books?
The war against the Xaros ends with this story. There's closure, I promise. There will be more from the characters you know and love in future novels.

So you're not going to hit us with book 10?
Nope. Future stories (or those set before the events of The Ember War) will be stand alone.
