War Virus

Raised in a 500-year galactic war between two human civilizations, Thomas Shipp always wanted to be a Peterson soldier to fight the ruthless Westers. But while most can't meet the physical or intellectual standards, Shipp becomes an elite fighter and leader.

After meeting the love of his life at Space Force University, he launches his military career on Risner, a planet dominated by the Westers - the hardest front in the war.

Shipp excels. He wins battles and awards. He elevates an elite unit of soldiers who will do anything for each other. And Shipp believes himself to be of the Final War Generation - that this 500-year war can be won - and in his lifetime.

But the Westers have their own designs on winning the war. They've developed a bio-weapon that can wipe out entire planets, and they are ready to use it. And they've got a plan to eradicate the Petersons from Risner.

When the Wester plan reaches fruition, Shipp loses nearly everyone he loves and admires. His idealism dies, replaced by vengeance and an even stronger commitment to end this war - by any means necessary.

His obsession will eventually propel him into space on a suicide mission deep into Wester Territory. But it may also destroy his humanity and the few remaining friends who still fight for his former ideals, and unravel the entire mission - the Petersons' only hope to stop the Westers from murdering billions.
