Description

A gritty, action-packed sci-fi war novel set on the seemingly idyllic planet Eos-a world where peace is shattered by a brutal conflict between human colonists and the savage Gorgons, a fearsome alien race resembling the Medusa of myth. When the Interstellar Association of Worlds dispatches its elite Marines to push back the enemy, Sergeant Lion Biyela leads his team into the heart of the chaos.

Outmatched and stranded in the war-torn city of Belden, Lion and a fellow Marine face a deadly machine virus and the horrors of combat without their high-tech suits. Forced to survive on foot through hostile territory, they encounter both desperate survivors and vicious enemies-human and alien alike. Haunted by lost memories and betrayal at the hands of a ruthless superior, Lion must fight not only for survival but for the truth.

As the war grinds on and the Gorgons retreat, Lion's battered battalion makes one final stand at the Axial River. But with most of his team lost and his ideals shaken, Lion is left questioning the cost of victory. Chaos Company explores the courage, sacrifice, and inner turmoil of soldiers caught in an endless war on the edge of the galaxy. After a year of fighting, was it worth it?
