BOOK 02 "What doesn't kill us had better start running. We move fast, strike first, and never miss." -RC-5570, Sergeant Mech In this thrilling sequel, RYNO Squadron has just escaped the never ending cycle of the Empire's service roster on Daro. Fugitives and injured they must first find a place to lay low until the heat on their heads dies down. But before they can find a place to hold up in, Taipan discovers a mysterious tracking fob. The location signaling to a place she thought she'd never see again. An asteroid with memories that can not be suffocated no matter how hard she tries to drown them. The former Captain, now Sergeant out of old habits, Mech is dealing with his own demons. The war's nightmares are getting worse and his men aren't fairing any better. But if they don't continue the mission more of their brothers will die or suffer the fate of the Empire. Clones who outage their usefulness are put down at the end of a blaster by fellow brethren. Mech will not stand for this injustice. Tapcaf, Sparkstick, and Hardcopy will follow Mech into the lava of Mustafar if Mech gives the word. From the oceans of Kamino to the slums of Coruscant, they will not hesitate to save their brothers-even if it means their own lives may be spent. As this found family of former Republic Commandos and a Zabrak gladiator learn to depend on each other and bond through blood spilled, the Empire doesn't stand a chance. - Rated Mature for blood, intense violence, & grisly images.
