Welcome to the Home Guard. Kyle Evans signed up because the uniform looked sharp, the pay was good, and he only had to serve two weekends a month. Then the war broke out. The Home Guards were supposed to remain on their native planet and protect the local population against invasion. Instead, Evans and his cohorts are loaded into troop ships destined for policing an occupied people. Their drop ships deploy to the wrong location. Now Evans and his fellow troopers try to stay alive on a rogue planet where death claws for them at every turn. Surviving to see home again is a distant dream in their current nightmare. Witness the birth of the Sons of Dragons!
