Уильям Дитц: Seek and Destroy

“It should be,” Mac replied. “But it isn’t. My sister was a bitch. You’re here . Since when?”

“Since the beginning of the operation,” Sloan replied.

“I see.”

“I wish we could go somewhere. I wish we could talk. There’s so much to say.”

“I would like that.”

Sloan removed the hat, let some raindrops hit his face, and put it back on. Their eyes met. “You’re very beautiful. I think about you all the time.”

“And I think about you. Be careful, Mr. President… And thank you for coming. It means a lot.”

Sloan tipped his hat. “We’ll meet again, Robin… Watch your six.”

And then he walked away. There was moisture on Mac’s cheeks as she watched them lower the coffin into the ground. Some of it was rain, and some of it wasn’t. Thunder rumbled in the distance. The guns were calling.

“William C. Dietz has produced an action packed, barnburner of a novel… This is a big blockbuster, big budget novel and the action is relentless… Into the Guns is hard military sci-fi in a post-catylyst American wasteland at its explosive best.”

“Fans of military science fiction will have another strong series to look forward to… Dietz takes readers on an emotional roller coaster.”

“An interesting and delightful read, with a good mix of action, intrigue, and the occasional bit of levity… highly recommended.”

“Dietz is a must-read for all military SF fans… If you enjoy an action story, strong military SF, or a good near-future Armageddon novel, be sure to read Into the Guns … you will be longing for the next volume as you finish the last page.”

“ Into the Guns doesn’t waste a second getting going right out of the gate… By the time you get to the last page, you’re out of breath. But things are only getting started.”

William C. Dietzis the New York Times bestselling author of more than forty novels, some of which have been translated into German, Russian, and Japanese.
