The Rebellion against Earth expands to new worlds. Left to die on a volcanic world by the Skrull, McGill and his mercenaries face waves of missile attacks with nowhere to hide. When the Skrull seal themselves inside an impenetrable energy dome, McGill knows he has to get creative. Even if that means sabotaging alien power plants, blackmailing his superior officers, and using his own troops as bait in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

But the real enemy isn't the dome, or even the Rebel Blue Skrull forces trying to overrun the planet. It's McGill's commanding officers, who are looking for any excuse to execute him for insubordination. Now McGill has to pull off his riskiest gambit yet—turning certain defeat into victory while staying just barely on the right side of mutiny.

RAGE WORLD is the latest action-packed entry in B.V. Larson's bestselling Undying Mercenaries series.

In the far reaches of space, where the line between life and death is often a matter of circumstance, Undying Mercenaries stands out as a thrilling blend of relentless action, intricate world-building, and characters with an unshakable will to survive.

Read full series description

At the heart of this expansive space opera is the saga of a group of mercenaries who find themselves caught in the never-ending crossfire of intergalactic conflict. Led by a protagonist with a mysterious past, the team navigates deadly combat, political intrigue, and the threat of forces far beyond their control. Each mission tests their resolve, but it’s their bonds with one another—formed in the fire of war—that define their ultimate journey.

What sets Undying Mercenaries apart is its mix of high-stakes military action and a deeply human exploration of what it means to fight for something bigger than oneself. Larson’s trademark writing style delivers fast-paced battles and visceral combat scenes, but it’s the nuanced character arcs and emotional stakes that elevate the series beyond a typical sci-fi adventure. Readers are drawn not just into the sweeping galactic conflicts, but into the souls of the soldiers who risk everything, and sometimes, lose everything.

As the series progresses, the stakes grow even higher—pushing the mercenaries to face more than just their enemies. They must confront their own personal demons, ethical dilemmas, and the weight of past choices. Each book offers a new layer to the universe Larson has created, with new planets, factions, and technologies that make the narrative endlessly captivating.

For fans of military sci-fi, Undying Mercenaries is a journey worth taking, full of complex characters, thrilling battles, and a universe where survival is never guaranteed. Whether you're a seasoned reader of space operas or new to the genre, this series promises an unforgettable adventure through the stars.
