Halloway's Misfits
Description
They have perfect logic. He has a bad attitude. In the year 3000, humanity is losing the war against the Frang. An alien race of hyper-intelligent calculators, the Frang don't just defeat their enemies?they predict them. Every human strategy is countered before it begins. Every fleet is destroyed by an enemy that knows the future. The Terran Defense Coalition has one option left: stop fighting with math. Enter Commander Jack "Hazard" Halloway. Disgraced, reckless, and currently rotting in a penal battalion, Halloway is a tactical nightmare. He ignores protocol, disobeys orders, and survives on pure, dumb luck. To the Frang's probability engines, he isn't a soldier; he's a glitch. Now, Halloway has been given a suicide mission: take a rusted mining ship and a squad of cast-offs?a heavy-weapons specialist with a death wish, a jittery demolitions expert, and a logic-obsessed hacker?straight into the heart of the enemy's "Probability Anchor." Their goal? Upload a virus that will blind the alien fleet. The problem? The Frang know they're coming. They've run the numbers. They say the mission has a 0.00% chance of success. But Jack Halloway has never been good at math. "Starship Troopers" meets "Guardians of the Galaxy" in this fast-paced military sci-fi novella about finding hope in the chaos.
