{"product_id":"2940148362562","title":"Gust Front, Second Edition","description":"Now with all new content by John Ringo!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aliens had arrived\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith gifts, warnings, and an offer we\u003cbr\u003ecouldn't refuse....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur choice was simple: we could be cannon fodder, or we could be ... fodder. We could send our forces to fight and die (as only humans can) against a ravening horde that was literally feeding on its interstellar conquests—or remain as we were—virtually weaponless and third in line for brunch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe chose to fight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to alien technology and sheer guts, the Terrans on two worlds fought the Posleen to a standstill. Thank God there was a moment to catch our breath,  a moment, however brief, of peace—.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, for the survivors of the Barwhon and Diess Expeditionary Forces, it was a chance to get some distance from the blood and misery of battle against the Posleen centaurs. A blessed chance to forget the screams of the dying in purple swamps and massacres under searing alien suns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Earth it was an opportunity to flesh out their force of raw recruits with combat-seasoned veterans. Political, military and scientific blundering had left the Terran forces in shambles-and with the Posleen Invasion only months away, these shell-shocked survivors might be the only people capable of saving the Earth from devastation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the veterans had time to lick their wounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the Posleen don't read schedules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).","brand":"Baen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075372237040,"sku":"2940148362562","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148362562_p0.jpg?v=1764004205","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148362562","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
