Synopsis

Across a thousand battlefields and a million wars, there is always a question. What do you do when all the chips are on the table? Do you run? Try to find salvation in the arms of an easy peace? Or do you stand and fight? Send your enemies into whatever hole they crawled out of? On Deadly Ground has ten stories handling that exact question. Each character faces the impossible in different ways, but all will be tested before the day is done. Can they earn a heroic victory amongst the endless eternity of space, or are they doomed to fall into obscurity?

About J. R. Handley

J. R. Handley is a pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. She is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while she proofreads it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay at home wife, avid reader and all around nerd. Luckily for him, his Queen joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

Goodreads review by David on August 14, 2015

On Deadly Ground is very readable. The thing I liked best is that the detective works for the Bureau of Land Management. I hadn't seen anything like that before. So I had the opportunity to look at Western land use issues that I never thought about before. The author is careful to make no judgements......more

Goodreads review by Dorothy on April 26, 2013

This has it all -- the Mafia, a high school love, land issues. I enjoyed the read. Also enjoyed the trip to Kanab. Haven't been there in a long time.......more
