Quest Log

di Dallas Woodward (Autore)

Dallas Woodward, 2020

Ensign Peters didn't sign up for the end of the world. But when the ash starts falling and the lights go out, she and the watchteam of Joint Training Command are faced with a stark reality: a city starving, a war on their doorstep, and an enemy who doesn't follow any of the rules from the movies. The Heirs Apparent are determined to make this new world theirs, and what they lack in firepower, they make up for in terrifying creativity. To meet this foe, Peters will have to train a team of the Navy's finest magicians. Make that its only team, most of them as poorly qualified for the job as herself. With fire, lightning, and good ol' lead, they'll match wits with an enemy so prophetic they might have one foot in the future already. Their battlefield is a city of petty kingdoms, scheming cultists, and gator-infested swamps, where to falter is to die... though even death isn't so final. And then there's the hurricane. Talk about a time limit... Quest Log is a work of urban science fiction with a predominantly military cast, though most have never handled a gun outside boot camp at Great Lakes. You'll find no Rambos among its pages: only a tightly knit team of junior sailors, officers, and a few chiefs determined to keep the world from going more ass-up than it already is. It is dedicated firstly to the students of Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, who convinced me victory is as inevitable as your will to seize it, and secondly to military trainees everywhere, who kept their eyes open through powerpoints that would have felled many a weaker-willed man or woman. Hooyah.
