A Classic Military Sci-Fi Novel of Cybernetic Super-Soldiers, Alien Invasions, and Political Isolation

When the alien Troft Empire invades human colony worlds in the Adirondack sector, young colonist Johnny Moreau enlists in the Dominion of Man's secret COBRA program. Undergoing extensive surgical modification, Johnny is transformed into an integrated guerilla warrior equipped with titanium-reinforced bones, optic targeting lasers, and a micro-computerized combat reflex system.

Deployed behind enemy lines on occupied worlds, Johnny and his fellow Cobras execute surprise guerilla strikes to drive the Troft back. Following the war, Johnny returns to civilian life only to discover that fearful politicians and fearful citizens consider cyborg veterans a dangerous threat to society, forcing the Cobras into planetary exile.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Hugo Award-winner Timothy Zahn launches his iconic Cobra series with action-packed military tradecraft, cybernetic weaponry, and political suspense. Essential reading for fans of Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers, Joe Haldeman, and John Ringo.
