Jethro: First to Fight (The Wandering Engineer Book 2)

First to Fight, one of the motto's of the marine corps carried over to the Federation Marines from long ago.
To those not blooded in combat, it was just that, a motto. They were eager for war, despite the cost. But what kind of war?
A war they can't fight? Filled with political intrigue and corruption in Pyrax?
A war to train their own troops and expand?
A war to survive and live free? Free of the Horathians? To protect those that need protection, even when some undermine you at every turn?

But for Jethro, it is also a war within himself. A war going on he can hardly see, and a war with his own superiors to find out the truth.
As Sun Tzu said:
"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."
