Synopsis: The Knife's Edge

This is the story of a Ranger Company sent to Vandor, a planet light years from earth, to put down a civil war being fought between warring tribes of the predatory cat/bird like species that ruled Vandor before the arrival of earth diplomats; an intelligent species on the verge of flight and able sense human emotions. The story focuses on the men and women in Second Platoon led by Lieutenant Harkin a highly decorated and recently promoted NCO and Sergeant Douglass Moran, the Company’s highest-ranking female NCO. The story is about men and women in combat, about sex, love, and death in a foreign land, about the clash of cultures when one has superior technology and the other has superior numbers. The story is about fighting with and against the same intelligent beings in a civil war, your government has created and now cannot finish.
