A new chapter opens in the Fallen Empire as the echoes of war fade away…

War broke him. The jungle might finish him off.

After losing everything in the Succession Wars, Sergeant Marques Branch is just trying to survive. He and his partner Wells, a secretive former Terran Marine with a chip on his shoulder, are barely scraping by as freelance guns-for-hire. When a job goes sideways, they sign on with Highland Combat Applications, a shady private military contractor promising steady pay and a fresh start.

Highland ships them to Rumah Besar, a backwater DMZ world where interspecies tensions have erupted into civil war after the fall of the Grausian Empire. Marques is made platoon sergeant and with Wells, is assigned to Company D, “Doom Company”.

His new command is sent to root out rebels hiding in the jungle, but the mission doesn’t make sense. Branch’s platoon is stuck patrolling from a swampy outpost, chasing ghosts… until his soldiers start dying in ways no one can explain. Something is out there, hunting them from the shadows.

As the body count rises, Branch begins to question the corporation’s true motives and his own ability to lead. At the same time, a captivating dropship crew chief draws him into a slow burning connection that reopens old wounds. Haunted by the loss of his family during the Charee invasion of Aetheria, he’s forced to confront ghosts long suppressed by booze and the thrill of combat.

With enemies closing in and trust wearing thin, Branch must hold his platoon together long enough to uncover the truth…

Doom Company is a pulse-pounding military sci-fi thriller packed with brutal gunfights, claustrophobic paranoia, slow-burn romance, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the fire of combat.
