"We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours...until one night in 2063 on an Earth colony sixteen light years away, they struck. And now we are at war."
"My name is Lt. Col. T. C. McQueen. I'm an In-Vitro, a race of artificially gestated humans. I command a Marine Corps squadron...the 58th. They call us 'The Wildcards'."
"We fight when called, in space, on land and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat. To surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call...Above and Beyond!"
two small ficlets that won me challenges... shortish.. sweet and sappy..
This series is not yet finished, there are several more stories to come, they are as yet unbetaed, and i'm working, albeit VERY slowly on the last in the series.
So if you're reading this series... do not despair!...
