Proof of Concept (Undead Marine Book 2)

The Undead have been blooded in combat, and it's now time to prove their value. The huge cost and effort to reanimate them must be worth it, as their very existence depends on their return on investment, with no rights of their own. As the Undead are finding their footing and discovering how to best fight the war with the Tucanan invaders, the aliens are not standing still. They are experimenting with their evolutionary past to create new ways to fight humanity's military forces, sparking an arms race. Both sides are striving to stay ahead and gain the advantage, with every new innovation met by a counter.

When the Undead's secret base on Opal-3 is attacked by the Tucanans, it raises the question of whether it's just a coincidence or an effort to wipe out the Undead Marines before they can establish themselves. With pressure from the bean counters to prove their value on one side and the Tucanans' invasion on the other, the Marines could be snuffed out before they ever really establish themselves as the premier fighting force of humanity.

The Tucanans' relentless efforts to undermine the Undead's progress suggest they recognize the threat posed by these reanimated soldiers. The Undead, on the other hand, are driven by their lack of rights and the need to justify their existence through their performance on the battlefield. This creates a high-stakes scenario where both sides are pushing the boundaries of their capabilities, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.

The Undead's journey is one of adaptation and resilience, as they navigate the challenges of their new existence and the hostility of their adversaries. They must not only prove their worth as fighters but also establish their place in the grand scheme of things, overcoming the prejudices and skepticism that come with being an unconventional military force.

The Tucanans, for their part, are driven by their own evolutionary imperative, seeking to expand their dominance and eliminate any perceived threats to their supremacy. Their efforts to counter the Undead's advancements showcase their adaptability and ingenuity, making them a formidable foe that the Undead must constantly stay ahead of.

The stakes are high, and the outcome of this conflict will have far-reaching consequences for both sides. The Undead must rise to the challenge, leveraging their unique abilities and finding ways to outmaneuver their adversaries, while the Tucanans must continue to innovate and adapt in order to maintain their advantage. The future of humanity hangs in the balance, and the race to establish dominance on the battlefield has never been more crucial.
