The Glass Marines
THE UNLIKELY STORY OF 1ST NON-TERRESTRIAL COMPANY¸ U.S.M.C.
Light-years into deep space aboard a Malacan cargo freighter¸ Marine Sergeant Christopher receives a bizarre order: Make 185 Malacan aliens into United States Marines.
But the Malacans aliens are so... alien. Their culture¸ psychology¸ even physiology is so very¸ very different. What physical training standards do you use for a race that can do 200 push-ups with breaking a sweat¸ but can't do a single squat-thrust? Worse yet¸ the Malacans are a passive and docile species¸ with little or no sense of independence¸ ambition¸ or aggression. But the Corps don't want sheep - they want Marines!
With only three fellow Drill Instructors¸ century-old surplus weapons and equipment¸ and just eighteen weeks for Boot Camp¸ can Sergeant Christopher teach the meek and submissive aliens what it means to be one of the few and the proud?
