Publisher Description

Indomitable: the second in W. C. Bauers's Chronciles of Promise Paen, character-driven military science fiction featuring a female space marine.

Promise Paen, captain of Victor Company's mechanized armored infantry, is back for another adventure protecting the Republic of Aligned Worlds.

Lieutenant Paen barely survived her last encounter with the Lusitanian Empire. She's returned home to heal. But the nightmares won't stop. And she's got a newly reconstituted unit of green marines to whip into shape before they deploy. If the enemies of the RAW don't kill them first, she just might do the job herself.

Light-years away, on the edge of the Verge, a massive vein of rare ore is discovered on the mining planet of Sheol, which ignites an arms race and a proxy war between the Republic and the Lusitanians. Paen and Victor Company are ordered to Sheol, to reinforce the planet and hold it at all costs.

On the eve of their deployment, a friendly fire incident occurs, putting Paen's career in jeopardy and stripping her of her command. When the Lusitanians send mercenaries to raid Sheol and destabilize its mining operations, matters reach crisis levels. Disgraced and angry, Promise is offered one shot to get back into her mechsuit. But she'll have to jump across the galaxy and possibly storm the gates of hell itself.

Too many boring parts

The author shows promise but needs an editor with the the guts to make him rewrite the 95% pure boring in each novel so far.

It is a truism that life in the army is 95% boredom and 5% sheer terror or something like that. I don't need that in my fiction because it is boring.

A good example is a request to some air traffic controller to look at some recorded data. Seven iPad pages later the guy gives access. It was never in doubt that he would, but somehow this incredibly boring formality required an outsized length essay. As a reader I do not give a rats butt. It was just pure unrealistic boring nonsense.

These look to be a series of mech suit books. Heinlein and Steakly already did better decades ago. Until the author learns to write books without boring garbage padding out the bulk I cannot recommend them.

These could be the unpublished works from before someone b came a good writer. They should not have been published in this state.
