Trial by Ice Casey Calouette

Publisher Marketing: "One of the best military Scifi novels I've read in a long time." "Trial by Ice is a thrilling story, which kept me up at nights, finishing "just that one more chapter."" "This is an excellent book from a promising new writer. The characters are well developed and the action is brisk." "This book was a great read, it showed the human spirit doing what it does best. Surviving." In the 22nd Century colonies spread out to the stars, hidden by a secretive industrialist. 80 years later the locations are revealed, one at a time, once a year. Midshipman William Grace, sole survivor of the genocide on the colony Farshore, is shipwrecked and stranded with a handful of surviving marines and soldiers. The good news, they're alive. The bad news is that they face the frigid climate, betrayal, a harrowing ocean crossing, terror drones, and a mercenary force intent on holding the planet. But simply escaping isn't enough; they must complete the mission and warn Earth of a coming invasion. The United Colonies are fracturing and this is the opening shots of a galactic civil war. This is a full length 80,000 word novel. The first in the military science fiction series, A Star Too Far.
