When the royal government of the Interstellar Commonwealth was overthrown, the Imperial Family fled into the forgotten depths of space, seeking a colony that had been abandoned thousands of years ago. After a hasty jump and then five years of grueling sublight travel, the battered fleet enters the system to find a thriving pre-space flight human culture. A culture that remembered nothing of their origins. Once contact is established, the refugee spacefarers embroil themselves in the politics of the warring nations, using their superior technology to play one side against the other. Imperial Marines in power armor go up against semi-automatic rifles and tanks, winning and losing their lives in a long term plan to turn the world into their new empire. Meanwhile, far above in orbit, the deadly games of the court continue with political intrigue, backstabbing and deadly rebellion.

The war against the Elai has moved into the enemies' home system after several years of brutal and bitter fighting across known space. Even though their fleets are bottled up and their planets are under a tight blockade by the humans, the United Earth Alliance's technological edge is slipping as the Elia deploy new and more desperate weapons. A strategic strike to cut the Elai off from their fuel supplies goes disastrously wrong, leaving the UEA Marines and the Valkyries cut off and fighting for their lives on an airless moon. They will soon find out that cornered enemies are often the most dangerous.

The world has descended into chaos but it isn't the undead that are the worst part. Panic, broken supply lines, disrupted communications, terrorized refugees, the friction and fog of war all combine to make hell on Earth. The battered men and women of America's storied First Infantry Division, based out of Fort Riley Kansas, are ordered to give up their fights in the cities and retreat towards to the National Redoubt in the Northwest. With ammunition, food and fuel running low and a soul searing death only a bite away, they start a retreat across the plains. In the way are armed gangs, undead hordes, incompetent leadership and a landscape irrevocably changed. The crew of Staff Sergeant Mark Matthews' Bradley Fighting Vehicle, BOHICA, run and gun, grinding undead in their tracks in a fighting retreat to the Pacific Northwest, one 25mm shell at a time. This is the follow up to Shane Gries' breakthrough best selling "The Thin Dead Line" and is set in the world of J.F. Holmes' "Irregular Scout Team One".
