Description

Commander Clark Patterson and several other officers in the Freeground Military are ejected from regular service when their desire to look beyond Freeground Nation’s borders is discovered by an oppressive government. They are assigned dangerous missions by a special Intelligence Oversight Group.

If Commander Patterson and his people complete these missions, they’ll gain their freedom from Oversight and have the opportunity to start over in a tumultuous galaxy. Patterson’s fascination with another crew who left Freeground years before and managed to survive serves as a destination, but will they survive to reach it?

  • Expendable Few Dissappointing

    By GGRheumdoc
    I have read all the Spinward Fringe offerings to date. I have enjoyed them so much that I had to at one point forced myself not to download the next installment so that I could finish a project rather than getting drawn into the story and spend hours reading. Needless to say, I have looked forward to Expendable Few with great anticipation and saved it for a business trip. I sincerely hope that this is not the direction that future installments of the main story will take. The story was more convoluted and I felt little connection to the characters. The author used many more expletives in his writing this go around which may be a popular thing to do these days but is a substitute for more thoughtful writing. Hopefully the hours I invested in Expendable Few will be useful when the the next episode of Spinward Fringe comes out.

  • Disappointing!

    I have faithfully read all of the "Freeground" books and found this one to be my least favorite. Now everybody is gay? I had to stop reading. I was in high anticipation for arrival of book 7 and now a lack of interest has ended my anticipation.

    Hard hitting science fiction with enough twists and turns to merge high adventure with space opera in a brand new way! Randolph Lalonde sets the bar high for those who wish to keep up....
