Scorpio

Interesting read though not as good as Kloos's Frontlines and Palladium Wars books IMHO.

This story is an offshoot from the Frontlines series. It has two very different parts. The first part is all about the MC and her fellow colonists fighting for survival on "Scorpio" a human colony world that has been overrun by Lankies. The second part, following a deus ex machina episode, is much less intense. It follows the MC as she tries to adjust to a new life. It is probably setting things up for the next book in this new series.

The publisher's cover text gives a good idea of what to expect in the first part.

3+ stars, but I cannot quite round it up.
