The Closet (Ebony Sea: Origins Book 4)

The life of a Marine Corps grunt ain’t easy. Lance Corporal Olthan was told to make sure civilians got off the farming planet before the fascist Wantis arrived in force. But when he calls for evac, his ship doesn’t answer.
Trapped in the mayor’s secret panic room, the Marine bides his time while Wantis search the town for him and the two civilians in his care. His ship is coming back to get him – but it will only be in range for minutes. And there are still guards watching for the three of them.
