It was supposed to be a simple rescue mission—supposed to be. If Corporal John Harden had learned anything from his time in the 1215th Legion, it was that no mission went the way you expected. The Mission: Board the derelict cargo hauler DFMS Lumo, rescue any survivors, secure the vessel for return to the closest Dagdan Federation Port, and return safely to the Dagdan Federation Battlecruiser Nathanial B. Hughes. Now, he's trapped aboard a derelict cargo hauler, low on ammo, and running out of options. Not the best showing for a freshly minted fire team leader. Does he have enough grit, enough skill, or enough luck to bring him and his fire team back alive?

Assault Team is back—and this time, the stakes are even higher.Volume 2 brings you another hard-hitting lineup of pulse-pounding military sci-fi tales, where elite space marines, scrappy defenders, and boarding party badasses clash in brutal close-quarters combat. Whether breaching a hostile hull or holding the line against impossible odds, these warriors show what real grit looks like in the vacuum of space.These are stories of guts, glory, and getting the job done—because in the black, there's no room for second chances.Featuring new stories from top voices in the genre—plus a special intro by Rick Partlow!Gear up. Time to breach and clear.
