Conscript Zero

A convicted killer. An explosive collar. A 0.2% chance of survival.

Felix Valda drilled a hole through the foreman who crippled his little brother. The court called it murder. Felix called it overdue.

Then, in 2351, a solar micronova wakes the Hanbiri, an insectoid hive species buried since the last ice age, erupting from every moon and planet humanity ever touched. The professional militaries are shredded in 72 hours. Humanity’s answer: death-row convicts fitted with explosive collars and handed experimental weapons almost as likely to kill them as the enemy.
