Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz had his retirement papers signed and a career quietly winding down. Then unidentified objects splash down off coastlines around the globe, and what looked like a meteor shower turns out to be a landing force. Reassigned to a platoon of untested Marines, Nantz pushes into Santa Monica on a simple order: pull out the civilians trapped there before the airstrike levels the district. Street-level urban combat against an enemy nobody has had time to understand.
