Nominated for the Nebula-award and named as a Publishers Weekly Best Book
Lieutenant James Shelley commands a high-tech squad of soldiers in a rural district within the African Sahel. They hunt insurgents each night on a harrowing patrol, guided by three simple goals: protect civilians, kill the enemy, and stay alive -- because in a for-profit war manufactured by the defense industry there can be no cause worth dying for. To keep his soldiers safe, Shelley uses every high-tech asset available to him -- but his best weapon is a flawless sense of imminent danger... as if God is with him, whispering warnings in his ear. (Hazard Notice: contains military grade profanity.)

"... an amazing novel... The Red: First Light is a dark, intelligent, cynical take on military SF. It's an excellent novel that deserves a much larger audience." -- Stefan Raets, Tor.com

"... one of the best pieces of near future Mil-SF ever written. What's so good about it? The action rocks and the characters are engaging as hell. But this isn't just adventure fiction, it's Mil-SF and very well done, straight out of DARPA's dreambook, not somebody's fantasy." -- Ernest Lilley, SFRevu
