L. Bowers Books in Order

Marine Corporal Goshawk joins a mission to locate missing SEALs on an alien planet. Encounters with unfamiliar beings transform him and bring unexpected allies, but those alliances threaten his team’s cohesion and his relationship with the officers commanding their increasingly dangerous search.

Stranded on an alien world, Goshawk’s Marines search for missing comrades and answers about the machine civilization around them. A promotion gives him responsibility for an expanding team, including hardened fighters who challenge his authority and newly bonded Marines adapting to unfamiliar powers.

A Marine team confronts the larger threat revealed by a disastrous alien mission. With Earth’s battle cruisers approaching and new allies on the horizon, the appearance of dragon ships opening a portal raises the question of whether reinforcements can arrive in time.
