Final Mission Kindle Edition

by Jonathan Brazee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 80 ratings
Randhir, a former Imperial Ghurka, is ready to enjoy his retirement living with his son’s family when the planet is invaded by the Didacs.

Disabled from his years in service, he decides to hide out in the basement of his son’s restaurant so as not to slow down his family during the evacuation of the city . . . but that was until his 13-year-old grandson sneaks back to join him.

When Sun Fleet mercenaries augmenting the Didac troops start rampaging in a storm of destruction, can Randhir hold back from answering the trumpets of war? And even if he wants to fight, what can an unarmed, elderly ex-soldier and a young boy do against well-armed marauders?

NOTE: this is a novelette at 7,800 words, not a full-length novel.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am a retired Marine infantry colonel and now a full-time writer living in Colorado Springs with my wife Kiwi and twin five-year-old girls, Danika Dawn and Darika Marie. I am a two-time Nebula Award Finalist, a two-time Dragon Award Finalist, and a USA Today Bestselling writer.

I published my first work back in 1978, a so-so short story titled "Secession." Since then, I have been published in newspapers, magazines, and in book format in fiction, political science, business, military, sports, race relations, and personal relations fields. I returned to writing fiction in 2009, and I currently have over 100 titles published, 80 being novels. My novelette, "Weaponized Math," was a finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award, "Fire Ant" was a finalist for the 2018 Nebula Award for Best Novella, "Integration" was a finalist for the 2018 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel, and "Sentenced to War" was a finalist for the 2021 Dragon Award in the same category.

My undergraduate degree was earned at the U. S. Naval Academy (Class of 1979), and I have attended graduate school at U. S. International University and the University of California, San Diego, earning a masters and doctorate. I am a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the US. Naval Academy Alumni Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America where I'm serving as the Nebula Award Commissioner.

I have rather eclectic tastes. I have won awards in photography, cooking, writing, and several sports, earning national championships in rugby and equestrian events. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, cooking, going to the gym, taking my girls fishing, or traveling. I attend quite a few cons over the course of a year, and love meeting other people who love books.

I write because I love it. I only hope that others might read my work and get a bit of enjoyment or useful information out of my efforts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Problem is, it's a Short Story dang it!

    Frazer always delivers good military sci fi. Filled with heroes fighting above their weight and making so with limited gear and courage. His heroes are human and his tale on combat is drawn from his own life so it's fairly accurate even for sci go and fantasy.
    Just wish this had been a novel cause it was getting good!

    As always Colonel Brazee's writing is seamless. You are immediately pulled into the story and it's over too soon. However, it makes you think - would this old war dog respond the same way?
