REVIEWS Mike H: Again Zozer delivers high-quality, in-depth material that is seemingly a never ending fountain of relevant and useful information. Att 110 pages most of what the future Marine Corps is all about is laid out in the incompromising detail and cool, to-the-point graphics we have come to love and expect from Zozer. As a military Sci-fi nut I can say that in sections it is as crisp as a USMC Field Manual, which is exactly the way I like it. And when compared to other publishers treatment of the topic, I think their efforts and thin results pale by comparison. Here you get your money's worth with a perfect balance of background, character careers, weapons, vehicles, air- and spacecraft, rules enhancements, and mission creation. A great work in all!

The first thing you know, you’re jumping straight into the freezers, the next you’re strapped into a UD-5 Mustang and dropping through a hostile atmosphere to battle… what? Rogue clones? Exomorphs? Chinese insurgents? Terrorists? A cyclone the size of Africa? Man, the Corps sure keeps you on your toes…
