Sergeant Roger Hawthorne, a soldier for hire for the Aegis Corporation, thrives on action, excitement, and adventure - something the moon of Cymbria has not offered in a very long time. Just when he thinks he can no longer stand the monotony of colonial life, an unexpected menace emerges to threaten the mining colony he is sworn to protect, thrusting him back into the thrill of battle he so desperately craves. However, on the brink of interspecies war, a chance encounter with his newfound enemy calls into question his beliefs and assumptions - not only about his enemy, but about his own place in history. As the battle for survival unfolds, Roger learns that not every enemy bleeds green, and not every war is fought with weapons. The Cymbrian Protocol, a work of clean fiction, is a story of personal reflection and unlikely friendship. The story brings you face to face with the sacredness of all life, the fragility of peace, and the importance of uncompromising moral principles in difficult circumstances.
