The Marines were told it was a simple peasant rebellion---but the mission proved to be far deadlier...
Space Marines fight an alien intelligence. The first of three books that cover the 34th's adventures on the planet Kingdom.
The 34th FIST is sent to a planet, inhabited by religious extremists of many religious sects, which is under assault by the alien Skinks. Makes for a 'fun' deployment as the Marines struggle to assist a planetary army more concerned with adhering to its religious tenets than surviving.
A rousing tale, but as Mike S. already mentioned in his review, this particular story of the 34th FIST is continued in the following books.
