The planet is called Banshee. The air is unbreathable, the water poisonous. It is the home of the most implacable enemies that humanity, in all its interstellar expansion, has ever encountered.

Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of ten thousand years of the armorersโ€™ craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls โ€œthe Engine.โ€

This bestselling science fiction classic is a story of the horror, the courage, and the aftermath of combat and also of how strength of spirit can be the greatest armor of all.

John Steakley has written four short stories, three films, and two novels, including Vampires, which was the basis for a John Carpenter film. Besides being a writer, he has been a stock-car racer, a semi-pro football player, a private detective, an actor, and a car salesman. He lives in McKinney, Texas.

Tom Weiner, a dialogue director and voice artist best known for his roles in video games and television shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Transformers, is the winner of eight Earphones Awards and Audie Award finalist. He is a former member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

โ€œWeiner handles the varied accents so perfectly that he makes it sound easyโ€ฆWeinerโ€™s skillful interpretation puts the listener in the heat of battle.โ€

“Gripping, forceful, and compelling…A tour de force.”

โ€œSynthesizes the action of Heinleinโ€™s [Starship Troopers] with the emotional impact of Haldemanโ€™s The Forever Warโ€ฆcompletely uniqueโ€ฆ[Weiner] delivers his usual letter-perfect narration.โ€
