Chronos - Military Science Fiction Review
Chronos - Military Science Fiction Overview
Author's Description:
In the year 2132, Zach Murphy is a member of an elite group of commandos called the Wolverines. On the frontier of man's expansion into space, and too far from Earth to receive assistance, battles are frequently fought with a mix of easy to maintain twentieth century weaponry and devastating technology.
Murphy's squad is called upon to fight huge military robots while using only handheld weapons. Survival is not likely. Failure is not an option. The freedom of mankind is at stake as the eclectic squad of commandos spearheads the effort to free the enslaved population of Chronos from the grasp of a totalitarian organization. Several surprises aid the team as they uncover the secrets of the planet's population, both human and alien.

It is 2132 and man has expanded his reach into space. They are now so far from Earth that they must supply their needs without any assistance. Weapons range from twentieth century rifles and grenades to technological wonders. The group of Commandos known as the Wolverines must work together to survive where survival is not guaranteed.
Zach Murphy and his team are assigned the job of liberating the people of Chronos which has been taken over by the Syndicate. Chronos is valuable to the Syndicate because of the abundance of rare minerals and an alien race called the Amalthea, about which very little is known.
Ciolli has written a rip roaring, action packed novel that shows how a well oiled military squad can overcome obstacles that would cause others to turn tail and run. It is also a novel of how one small planet can make a large impact on the balance of power.
This is his first novel, but I expect to see more from him in the future. If you like the HAMMERS SLAMMERS stories from David Drake, CHRONOS will be a welcomed addition to your reading list.

"Chronos" tells the story of Zach Murphy and the Wolverines as Earth's commandos are tasked with a mission to free the people, both human and alien, of Chronos from the iron grasp of an organization oppressing them.
