Five by Five: No Surrender

Five by Five: No Surrender is the second collection in the series of short novels by five masters of military science fiction. In these pulse-pounding tales, the best (or worst) soldiers in the galaxy are pitted against powerful aliens on distant battlefields. In William C. Dietz’s Legion of the Damned® story, Legio Patria Nostra, the insectoid Ramanthians have occupied Earth, and the Confederacy of Sentient Beings turn to the xenophobic Hudathans for help. But Hudathan relics have been stolen by ex-legionnaire thieves—and the Hudathans won't join the Confederacy unless Legion Captain Deacon Smith can get them back. Set in the world of Harlan Ellison’s classic Outer Limits episode “Soldier,” Kevin J. Anderson’s Prisoner of War follows a set of warriors in a never-ending future war, men bred for nothing but the battleground, and how they cope with the horrors of peace. When expensive, classified shipments of military hardware go missing, Conflux Armed Forces policewoman Kalliope Reardon follows the trail far outside the boundaries of the civilized galaxy, and into the heart of occupied enemy territory in Brad R. Torgersen’s Reardon’s Law. When A. C. Cade was exposed as a fraud, Cade’s son makes himself into the elite father pilot he believed his father was, defending Earth against a desperate alien invader which has no use for humankind and absolutely nothing to lose in Dagger Team Seven by R. M. Meluch. In Coffee Black Sea, the saga of the Dollgangers from Aaron Allston’s Big Plush (Five by Five Vol. 1) continues. Bow, BeeBee, Lina, and new ’gangers escalate the risks of their quest for survival . . . by turning their eyes to the stars.
