Operation Red Star The Void Wars Book 4

Publisher's summary

The largest invasion in history begins as the Vrokan Empire breaks its alliance with the vast expanse of the Communist Confederation.

First to be struck is the border world of Byelorus Primaris. Soldiers, cybernetic assault troops, and hundreds of armored walkers make planetfall and strike the ring of fortresses that surround the city. Greatest of these is the dilapidated Brest-Litousk Stronghold, now home to multiple Red Army regiments, NKVD border forces, cadets, and their families. The Vrokans intend on making an example of the Brest-Litousk Stronghold, to show the Confederacy that resistance is useless and to raise their flag atop its Great Tower.

But it will not be easy. Their soldiers are cut down as they cross the waterworks, and the fortress’s defence batteries blast apart any transports or starfighters that stray too close. Soldiers that make it inside are met not just by Red Army defenders, but by thousands of civilians armed with any weapon they can find. As Byelorus Primaris burns, the desperate defenders of the Brest-Litousk Stronghold keep fighting. They know they will be granted no quarter, and the siege turns into a horrific battle of wills, paid for with the blood of thousands.
