No child should ever be a soldier. 

      Jon Moore knew that better than most, having learned to fight to survive before he’d hit puberty.  So when a former comrade, Alissa Lim, asks for his help in rescuing a group of children pressed into service by rebels on a planet no one cares to save, he agrees. Only later does he realize he’s signed up to do far more than he’d ever imagined.
