The Galaxy Banned War...Until They Woke the Last Soldier

For 500 years, Colonel Elias Kade slept in cryogenic suspension—one of 247 human war criminals frozen after Earth joined the peaceful Galactic Federation. The galaxy had abolished warfare twelve millennia ago. Humans were forced to forget the brutal tactics that made them terrifying. Then the Void Swarm emerged from dark space. An enemy that didn't negotiate. Didn't surrender. Just consumed. In six weeks, seventeen solar systems fell. Trillions died. And the galaxy's police-action military forces were powerless against an enemy that refused to play by the rules. Desperate, the Galactic Council made a choice that would change everything: wake one human who remembered how to wage total war. This HFY sci-fi story explores what happens when a peaceful galaxy faces extinction and has to ask the monster they fear to save them. Watch as Colonel Kade teaches advanced alien civilizations the brutal lessons Earth learned through centuries of warfare—that sometimes survival requires becoming what you hate. See why humanity's military history is both our greatest shame and our most valuable asset. Witness fleet battles on a galactic scale, impossible odds, and one soldier's final stand against a planet-sized nightmare. Experience the moral weight of scorched earth tactics, planet-killer weapons, and the question that haunts every warrior: are you a hero or a monster? Is war always wrong, or are there threats that justify any cost? Could you sacrifice billions to save trillions? What makes someone a war criminal versus a savior?
