Though the Stars Fall (United Humanity Marine Corps)

Though The Stars Fall pits humanity against a sinister alien race in this breathtaking sci-fi adventure by author Bill Roberts. Shawn Morris, an officer in the United Humanity Marine Corps, is an Iraq War veteran who has left his family behind in order to immerse himself in a classified mission. The mission? To learn how to operate Kodiaks—giant war machines kept in an underground government facility. Top-secret military weapons are one thing, but Shawn soon learns that this technology isn't even human. Bestowed upon the human race by aliens known as Watchers, these machines are meant to defend humanity against an imminent otherworldly invasion. Many years later, that invasion has come—and now it is up to Shawn and his compatriots to defend their home planet at all costs. But even as the Marines fight for their lives against the alien invaders known as the Synti, a tense conflict between the officers and their commander threatens to explode into more violence. As he mans the cockpit of his Kodiak war machine, Shawn is willing to do whatever it takes to save his loved ones back on planet Earth. But will it be enough?
