{"product_id":"9781481744744","title":"Tungsten Spider: Book One: Advent of Cataclysm","description":"Wars are not fought between good and bad people; they are fought by soldiers.   The Axi have invaded Col. Without a fleet, they have managed to land an entire legion on the Valen world and begin sweeping over its deserts in an unstoppable blitzkrieg. Hellick Primus is a squad leader in Driven Company of the 173rd Legion. He has a wife and two children, but today, his ten troopers are his only family. Veterans of two campaigns, the troopers of D Co soon discover that Col is host to the worst violence of their careers. Despite their superior technology and military discipline, Hellick struggles against micromanaging leadership, Col's hostile climate, and a crafty enemy to bring each member of his \"family\" home alive.   Staff Sergeant Ramsey is 1st Platoon's sergeant for Bravo Company, 22nd Infantry Battalion. The Col Defense Guard suffers from a peace time mentality, where soldiers' feelings and welfare are placed over training. Ramsey's platoon is a wreck of poor soldiers guided by weak leaders and equipped with outdated hardware. Slaughter ensues. The weight of survival falls on the shoulders of a few professionals, who find themselves locked in conflict, while their friends are murdered around them. In war there are no underdogs; there are only survivors and fodder.  In war, there are no heroes; there are only the living and the dead.  War is not fair.  War is hell.  Which side will you choose?","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162972668144,"sku":"9781481744744","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481744744_p0.jpg?v=1763623678","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481744744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
