For this installment of YWR, I decided to review a military science fiction series. These are The Union novels, a series in which the storyline and characters fit into contemporary military operations just as easily as they do the future found in the novels.
We’ve been reading the American Praetorians series since before the first book was published (a couple of us were allowed to read the rough draft). It is really. Good. Stuff. In fact, it’s good enough that it’s hard to find anything to compete; that’s why we’re happy to announce Book 4 is on the way.
Your Weekend Read: Line in the Valley, the second novel by “Mad Duo Chris” Hernandez is now available in hard copy. That’s how we spent last weekend. We can, in good conscience, recommend you do the same this weekend. It’s a gritty read.

What you'll be reading below is actually part two of the three book (so far) Proof of Our Resolve series by our friend Chris Hernandez. The first volume is a novel about a Texas Army National Guard infantry platoon deployed to Afghanistan. It does a great job...
