About this ebook
Benjamin Carter Mason died last night. Maybe he threw himself off a bridge into Los Angeles Harbor, or maybe he burned to death in a house fire in San Pedro; it doesn't really matter. Today, Mason's starting a new life. He's back in boot camp, training for the only war left that matters a damn.
For years, their spies have been coming to Earth, mapping our cities, learning our weaknesses, leaving tragedy in their wake. Our governments knew, but they did nothing - the prospect was too awful, the costs too high - and now, the horrifying and utterly alien Cray are invading, laying waste to our cities. The human race is a heartbeat away from extinction. That is, unless Mason, and the other men and women of Task Force OMBRA, can do anything about it.
This is a time for heroes. For killers. For Grunts.

Cool read...then the over sized bugs blow in from ..ah... outer space. Why bugs? Why no communication with the bugs? You killed my favorite side kick characters! My gosh, why did you kill the Grunts only toy girl, I might understand it if theres a Grunts Life book 2 coming that continues the struggle to save the human race on earth. I did enjoy Grunts Life. I like the Macho hero type that loves to slice & dice, blow things up, rip heads off and relieve him/herself over what little is left đ

Military themed science fiction by a vet who knows what it's like from the inside. Read the whole book in two days, couldn't put it down
