Coming January 2026 from Baen Books (In which we learn that it still counts whether or not your helmet is on...)

(It's time to drop... let's fucking go!) “Entering atmosphere, on target for DZ Juliet in fifteen mikes,” Blue said over the ops channel so both her aircrew and the legionnaires loaded in the back could hear.

Coming January 2026 from Baen BooksPreorder today! (It's time to raaaaaaaage!) Mission planning for their training drop had been fairly standard, with one interesting exception.
