Halloway's Misfits: 1

Bol

They have perfect logic. He has a bad attitude.¿In the year 3000, humanity is losing the war against the Frang. An alien race of hyper-intelligent calculators, the Frang don't just defeat their enemies-they predict them. Every human strategy is countered before it begins. Every fleet is destroyed by an enemy that knows the future.¿The Terran Defense Coalition has one option left: stop fighting with math.¿Enter Commander Jack "Hazard" Halloway. Disgraced, reckless, and currently rotting in a penal battalion, Halloway is a tactical nightmare. He ignores protocol, disobeys orders, and survives on pure, dumb luck. To the Frang's probability engines, he isn't a soldier; he's a glitch.¿Now, Halloway has been given a suicide mission: take a rusted mining ship and a squad of cast-offs-a heavy-weapons specialist with a death wish, a jittery demolitions expert, and a logic-obsessed hacker-straight into the heart of the enemy's "Probability Anchor."¿Their goal? Upload a virus that will blind the alien fleet.The problem? The Frang know they're coming. They've run the numbers. They say the mission has a 0.00% chance of success.¿But Jack Halloway has never been good at math.¿"Starship Troopers" meets "Guardians of the Galaxy" in this fast-paced military sci-fi novella about finding hope in the chaos.
