Synopsis

It is a time for heroes, for killers, for Grunts.

In this thrilling conclusion to the breakout military science fiction series, we find Earth plagued with millions of miles of terraformed cities, black vines crushing concrete, revealing iron and steel. Those unable to escape the vines are empty vessels waiting to be filled, living storage for alien algorythmic thought. What else can happen? What more can be done? This has always been a time for heroes, for killers, for Grunts, but are they enough?

Benjamin Carter Mason will be asked to return to OMBRA to help them find these answers, and what he finds will send him over the edge. In the end, his efforts won't be about survival, they'll be about revenge, and his revenge will be served in a blaze.

Grunt Hero is the 3rd book in this series. I recommend reading the first two in order to fully enjoy this novel. Grunt Hero is a continuation of our hero Ben Carter Mason's journey through the post- apocalypse of alien invasion. Mason has grown through the first two books, but still identifies as a......more

Military scifi at it's finest This is the end to the three-book series Task Force Ombra by Weston Ochse and what an ending it is! It's jam-packed full of action, shows us a side of Mason that we would never otherwise experience and throws all what you thought about the Cray into the dustbin. What I li......more

I just finished Grunt Hero, the final entry of the Weston Ochse's Grunt series. The continuing story of Mason is compelling. You love, hate, and feel sorry for him, but he does what needs doing when the world needs a hero. Weston's military lingo and rationale is superb, a leftover from his military......more

The rest of the book is a combi......more
