The legendary blackcollar warriors were the only hope of a conquered Earth—if they still existed. Military science fiction by a New York Times best-selling author.
Allen Caine was too young to remember when the Earth had not been a conquered planet, one of many such in the huge and sprawling Rygril empire, but he knew of the legendary blackcollars, guerilla warriors trained to the limit of human speed and skill, then turned into nearly superhuman combatants by use of the now-lost backlash drug. Earth and its former colony worlds had been overwhelmed, but sparks of rebellion still smoldered, and the rebel underground on Earth had sent Caine on an undercover mission to the former Earth colony of Plinry, where there was a faint hope that a blackcollar unit still existed. The underground alone knew of a secret that might be humanity's ace in the hole. And if a remnant of blackcollar fighters still existed on Plinry, they were the only hope of playing that ace in a final bid for the freedom of humanity.
Publisher's Note: This book has appeared in parts as The Blackcollar and Blackcollar: The Backlash Mission. This is the first unified appearance of the complete book.

Product ReviewCharacterization was very shallow, almost nonexistent but the plot seemed to engage my attention enough that it was worth reading.

Product ReviewI read this series years ago, and really enjoyed myself. The plot and characters have a shallow, larger-than-life feel, like a comic book. There is nothing wrong with that, but it's something to be aware of.
