What’s the elevator pitch?
Having been replaced by robots and drones, veterans Ben Corbin and Sam Garrett go into business for themselves towing derelict vessels and space junk out of the shipping lanes around Mars.
Business was good, but a couple of malfunctioning service robots forced them to return to Earth for replacements. Aliens attacked the freighter they’d booked passage on, slaughtering and feeding on the crew and passengers. Only Corbin and Garrett managed to hold their own until they could hide in stasis pods. 200 years later Earth and her colonies, governed by the Commonwealth of Nations, are at war with a race of aliens known as the Nineteenth. Not with the Gar Rei Jhi who had attacked Corbin and Garrett so many years past. That war had been fought and humans lost. The Nineteenth is a new alien threat whose origins and motives are unknown. What information humans have on this new enemy comes from the uneasy alliance with the Gar Rei Jhi who’ve been fighting an even longer war with the Nineteenth. Though long ago, Corbin and Garrett’s history with the Gar Rei Jhi hasn’t been forgotten. They are to be ambassadors serving at the pleasure of the same aliens that attacked them. Thrust into a new age of engineered soldiers, interplanetary politics, and self-aware robots, Corbin has to quickly decide who he’s going to trust as he journeys back to the Mars colony. But his search for truth may come at the cost of his life, and the fate of the Commonwealth may rest on his decision. WARNING: If you don't like space battles, cyborgs, diverse flawed characters, aliens, AIs, mechs, robots or bad language this book may not be for you. 
How long have you been working on it?
It took me about 10 years to finally get THE LAST MARINES to the point it was publishable. Of course, that was mostly due to my demanding home life and work schedule. Sometimes I went for a couple of years without even touching the manuscript.
When will it be available to buy? Where?
How can readers find you?
What inspires you to keep writing?"To do right makes us men" "Whoever said laughter is the best medicine never had gonorrhea ..."
What inspires me to keep writing is my love of the genre and storytelling. What keeps working at the much less enjoyable marketing and selling of books is a desire to try and make a better life for my family.
Anything you’d like to add?
Thank y'all for your time and I hope everyone enjoys THE LAST MARINES. Please feel free to hit me up on social media or sign up for my mailing list on my website to get announcements about the book and release info for subsequent books in the series.
