Snipe's feet had been itching for a while when Arbi, her paramour, arranged for her to be posted to a paradise planet. Training a lot of brawny young men to become snipers in a secure camp with surf to swim and oceans to sail. A perfect posting or the usual clusterfrak?
As usual the posting's description was as accurate as a recruiting officer's promises. Snipe found herself making a nearly impossible shot with an antique weapon, once every few weeks. Then she'd hang out in an Entertainment District for the rest of the time. Even that could have been tolerable except for the Corpos who could, with no warning, sweep her up off the street and torture her to death. Not really a bad posting, until things got worse and Snipe's desert survival skills were put to the test.
Peter Brickwood is a curmudgeonly old introvert who started writing novels for the fun of it. Two cats, which he had somehow acquired, graciously permitted him to live in a hundred-year-old house that has no lack of things to fix. Otherwise, he is a voracious consumer of books, movies, and arcane bits of information mined out of the internet.
OR
If Peter had been born in the United States he would be a child of the greatest generation. Born in England makes him an old fellow raised by a mother who survived the London blitz then built the mulberries for D-Day and a merchant seaman father. His short, part-time service in the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was overseen by men who fought their way up Italy and through the Scheldt Estuary. Not a veteran himself, he nonetheless reads and watches a wide range of military material. He hopes his stories pay no disrespect to real soldiers.
