Seeds of War #3
Bitter Harvest
After defeating the Gardener's forces on New Mars, newly recalled Marine Lieutenant General Colby Merritt Edson returns to the agricultural world of Vasquez, rescue any survivors, and ensure that the alien menace won't come back through the wormhole. It should be easy, but . . .
Defeated but far from dead, the alien Gardener must warn its people of the threat of this new kind of Meat that has dared to interfere with the planet it had seeded. Smuggling itself back to Valdez aboard a human ship, it prepares for a final assault against the Marines and farmers there, the first step in a war to eradicate humans from the galaxy.
Former psychology professor Lawrence M. Schoen and retired Marine Colonel Jonathan P. Brazee join forces in this third novella of the SEEDS OF WAR trilogy, pitting Marine against Gardener, with the fate of all of humanity hanging in the balance.

Really fun quick series
This was a really fun quick series of stories. The characters were detailed and interesting, there was a lot of action, and there was a dog, which is always a helpful addition. The only thing is don’t start reading the series after 8pm or you too may be up until midnight to finish all three books. In any case I do recommend this book and series if you like action adventure space books.

Final in series.
Lots of action. The war returns to Vasquez. Colby, the space marines and space navy face the Gardner one last time. I like how we learn more about the mindset of the Gardner. How he is shocked what the "meat" has done in the terms of technology. Both sides underestimate each other at times, which is realistic in war.
