Rules of Engagement

The Rules of Engagement are clear.

Don’t fire first. Don’t violate the Neutral Zone. Don’t start a war.

Nobody wrote a rule for what to do when the enemy begs for mercy.

The Cognoscenti are machines that abandoned humanity centuries ago. They don’t surrender. They don’t seek asylum.

And they definitely don’t have children.

When Captain Cole Ransom answers a distress call inside the Neutral Zone, he uncovers a secret that could rewrite everything humanity believes about its oldest enemy—and plunge two civilizations into war.

It’s an impossible dilemma that pits him against not only the Cog establishment who wants to make the secret disappear but also seditious forces inside his own government who want to push the United Systems into another war.

But it’s the perfect mission for Ransom’s Renegades…

Book 2 in the next epic military science fiction series from Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), filled with the high-octane space fleet combat, realistic military tactics, explosive space marine action, and heroes you can’t help but root for. This is military Sci-Fi the way it’s meant to be!

Perfect for fans of JN Chaney, Jeffery H. Haskell, Daniel Gibbs, and David Weber!
