REV Warriors

Internationally bestselling science fiction author T. R. Harris introduces his exciting new military/space opera series about the future of space warfare . . . and the destiny of mankind. Every kid wanted to be a REV, but very few ever would. Zac Murphy was the most-badass REV warrior in the Corps. He'd gone on more Runs and killed more aliens than any single Human alive. He'd been one of the early volunteers for the NT-4 Program, which used a powerful performance-enhancing drug to turn ordinary Marines into super killing machines. Affectionately called REV, the drug wasn't for everyone. Few made it through the screening process, and fewer still into the Fleet. Zac was the most-senior REV alive, a miracle of science and a legend in the Corps. His job was to be the battering ram for the Marines, the first in while revved up on NT-4. During a Run he was a mindless killing machine, dangerous to both foe and friend alike. That's why his fellow Marines gave him a wide berth until he could be put down by the Twilight drug. At that point he was somewhat manageable. But something was happening to Zac. Long after most other REVs were dead, burned out or "retired," Zac was growing stronger, more powerful. He was also doing what no REV had ever done before during a Run. He was beginning to think.

REVs are mankind's ultimate mechanized warriors, chemically-enhanced Marines with super strength, speed and durability, and the closest thing Humanity has to real-life, homegrown supermen. They're also Earth's not-so-secret weapon against the alien Antaere, habitually leaving wide swaths of enemy dead everywhere they go. They're respected by our allies and feared by our foes. That is until a recent REV mission goes horribly wrong, turning the planets of the Grid against the Humans. Now Lt. Zac Murphy and his team of super REVs are hunted by the aliens and hated by their fellow Humans. Only by proving that the original mission was a setup from the beginning can they clear their names and restore the reputation of the REVs. But that's easier said than done, especially when everyone on a dozen worlds knows your name and your face, and there's nowhere to hide. And as the REVs fight for redemption, Zac learns a terrible truth about the Program, a truth that will impact the future of mankind: Zac is not only a new breed of REV... he's a new breed of man... From heroes to hunted in the blink of an eye, it's a strange game fate plays. Will the REVs have the skill and ability not only to play the game... but to survive it as well? That remains to be seen.

For the past twenty years, humanity-along with its ultimate weapon, the superhuman warriors known as REVs-has been at war with the more powerful and technologically advanced Antaere race. As latecomers to the galactic community, the humans have been playing catch-up, proving that their innate skill at waging war can help skip a lot of steps on the way to galactic domination. That was until two years ago. Now nearly all the civilizations within the local Grid of colonized planets have turned against the humans, resulting in the loss of nearly all the territory they once fought and died for. But things are changing. Through recent revelations regarding the Antaere and their ultimate plan for their alien followers, old allies are slowly returning and asking for Earth's help in liberating their planets from the Antaere stranglehold. And the REVs are leading the way. However, things are not always as they seem. The Antaere are diabolical in their strategy. And when a recent mission goes bust, Earth is left in an even worse position than before. Lt. Zac Murphy and his super-REVs have their work cut out for them . . . if people will just let them do their job. After all, Zac is not only a new breed of REV . . . he's a new breed of man.

As the story of the REVs continue, the forces at work-either to destroy these enhanced super-warriors or to promote them-come together in a fight for the destiny of human evolution. And while the powers-that-be are tearing themselves apart with this internal struggle, mankind also faces the continuing threat of the alien Antaere . . . plus something new from outside the Grid. Just when the Humans thought they had the war won, this new threat appears on the scene and messes up everything. Once again Mankind calls on the REVs to save the day. But are they enough? Lt. Zac Murphy and his natural REVs are caught in the middle of both a political and philosophical tug-of-war for the destiny of the human race and the survival of the species. Can Zac do it? Can he lead his REVs to victory? I wouldn't bet against him. After all, Zac isn't just a new breed of REV . . . he's a new breed of man.

After a devastating loss to the alien Antaere, the forces of Earth have been driven back to the Solar System, to wait helplessly while the aliens muster enough strength to make one final push. Now the salvation of the Human race lies with Captain Zac Murphy and his natural REVs, the unforeseen byproducts of an experiment using super-enhanced Marines as the ultimate killing machines. With the human military now reduced to a shadow of its former self, the REV super-warriors must pull triple duty as they form an invincible defensive shield for the planet. And not only that, but they need to beat back the aliens, eliminating their threat once and for all. Only then will mankind have a future. If not, then we die. This is the pivotal book in the series, the one where we find out if mankind will survive . . . or will we join the dust bin of history as just another extinct species? At the moment, our prospects don't look too good. And the key to our success is dependent on the secret work carried out by Dr. David Cross and his quest to develop a new kind of man . . . and woman. Here we're introduced to Sergeant Joanie Hollis, soon to become the first female REV. Her contributions to the survival of the species are nothing less than epic.

REVS are the super-soldiers of the future, chemically-enhanced Marines who have begun to produce the Rev drug naturally in their bodies. Now there are supermen and -women walking among us,and you wouldn't even know it... After the defeat of the evil Antaere in the first REV Series, Zac and his super warriors carry on, as the hammer used against a myriad of obstinate races. The Union of Affiliated Systems (Earth's new stellar empire) is determined to expand far beyond the Grid, using the REVs as the means of convincing reluctant species to join. After all, it’s for their own good. Membership in the UAS will benefit all. So what if a little blood has to be spilled in the meantime. Zac didn't want command of the REV force in the first place, and now he's put in an impossible situation with too few troops and other resources to complete his mission. But he's a super-REV in command of an army of REVs. Surely there is no one who can stand against the enhanced Marines of the near future. Are the REVs here to replace the Human race with a new, more powerful version of man? Many think so, and that's why Zac is meeting so much resistance. A reckoning is coming, between the Humans of old and the REVS.

REVs are the super-soldiers of the future, chemically-enhanced Marines producing the performance-enhancing drug Rev naturally in their bodies. Now, there are supermen and -women walking among us. Are they here to save humanity, or replace it? Only time will tell. The story continues: After Zac Murphy and Angus Price are fired from their jobs as leaders of the REV fleet that's been expanding the human stellar empire, a new danger appears in the Outer Reaches: A super-race capable of smashing humanity like a bug. As all of the Union's past gains are lost, Earth is desperate for salvation. They find it in the unlikely union of mortal enemies-Zac and Dr. David Cross. They need Zac's leadership and superhuman abilities. They also need Cross's new breed of mega-soldiers, the natural-born REVs he's been working to create for half a century. But what does this mean for the future of mankind? Will our ultimate fate come from an outside threat? Or will it come from within? This is military science fiction at its best, with gigantic space battles, exotic alien encounters, and supermen and -women fighting desperately for the survival of the human race. Add to this a strong dose of political intrigue and backroom deals, and you have the making of a rip-roaring adventure where the stakes have never been higher.

REVs are the super-soldiers of the future, chemically-enhanced Marines producing the performance-enhancing drug Rev naturally in their bodies. Now, there are supermen and, women walking among us. Are they here to save Humanity, or replace it? Only time will tell. The story continues: Having been maneuvered into attacking an innocent planet populated by natives with technology far out-pacing that of Earth, Humanity faces its greatest challenge-fighting off two superior races out to exterminate the Human race. It was bad enough when it was just mankind against the Seken. Now the Azloreans have joined the fray. After being captured during the failed attack against the Azloreans, Zac Murphy is now being kept as a trophy by the mastermind of the whole affair, the Antaerean Kallen Zaphin. He's keeping Zac alive so the REV can witness the final demise of the Human race. In the meantime, Angus Price is struggling to stay one step ahead of the alien pursuers, leading the remnants of the Human fleet farther away from Zac and a potential rescue attempt. But little do Zac and Angus know, there's a major new power in the galaxy on their way to help, and a home-grown power at that.

What would you do if you knew there was another version of Humanity that was superior to you? Would you accept them into your society with open arms? Or would see them as a threat to your survival? Originally, the REVs were created to save mankind from alien threats; chemically altered super warriors designed as the ultimate killing machines. But now that those threats are under control, what do you do with the growing population of supermen and -women who are constant reminders of your own frailty? And what if these 'ultimate killing machines' decided that they should be in charge? Zac Murphy and Angus Price are the two most famous and formidable REVs in the Corps. Supermen in nearly every way, they are legends, both among the growing REV population, as well as the billions of normal Humans on Earth. And now they will be called upon to quell the festering tensions between normal Humans and the REVs. But then a new threat appears on the horizon, a threat that requires the REV-once again-to become the sharp end of the spear. Will the REVs answer the call? Why should they? They have very little in common with the rest of Humanity. And with the way they've been treated recently, who would blame them if they said no? Will this be the final splintering of the Human race, one that could lead to the demise of both branches of mankind?

Humanity has always had a problem with the REVs. Now, all the fear and paranoia regarding these super men and women will come to a head. REVs have been exiled from Earth, with the remaining few treated like criminals and required to wear armbands and tattoos, harkening back to another tragic time in the history of mankind. Zac Murphy and his REVs now live on the planet Crious, building a new homeworld of their own... if the humans will leave them alone. But now the evil Seken race is heading for Earth, determined to destroy the planet as part of their black-and-white practice of war. Either you destroy them, or they will destroy you. There is no compromise, no surrender, no negotiated peace. And since the Seken civilization is thousands of years old, that means they have never lost a war. Now, humanity once again looks to the REVs for protection against the alien threat. But the Seken, in their wisdom, have told the REVs they will not be harmed if they stay out of their conflict with Earth. What will Zac and his REVs do? Will they let Earth stand alone against the savage Seken? Or will they once again come to the defense of the humans?
