    She’s the go-to Marine for the most difficult missions. Not all of these missions are against human targets, and some missions require more than sniper skills. Gracie is tasked with a “material denial” target, in this case, a BOLO (“Be On The Lookout”). However, the circumstances are such that she will need support getting to the firing point and then exfiltrating, all on a friendly planet. Instead of having a squad of Marines as she would have wished, the powers-that-be decide she needs a SEAL team, the Federation’s ultimate clandestine operators. SEALs are not overly fond of Marines, however, and they resent simply being in a support mode and having a Marine sniper assigned to them take the shot. Gracie isn’t overly pleased with the situation either, but the mission comes first, and she’ll do her best to accomplish it.

    Poised at the top of his class, only one situation holds him back–his inability to work with anyone in the cockpit. Byron’s excellent piloting skills won’t be enough without a good navigator…

    Xandrian Stone and his fellow cadets have finished basic training, the first half a year is over. After the Ceremony of Recognition the best 60 cadets will embark on the round-trip across the Eden System to learn, get first-hand experience and also be tested if they can put their more or less theoretical knowledge into practical use. After that and advanced training there will be the proving mission where the best of the academy will get the opportunity to demonstrate that they can function as a crew and accomplish a simple mission...

    The war is Edane Estian’s only chance to find out if he’s more than what he was designed to be. He’s a clone soldier, gengineered from a dog’s DNA and hardened by a brutal training regime. He’d be perfect for the job if an outraged society hadn’t intervened, freed him at age seven, and placed him in an adopted family. Is he Edane? Cathy and Beth’s son, Janine’s boyfriend, valued member of his MilSim sports team? Or is he still White-Six, serial number CNR5-4853-W6, the untroubled killing machine? By joining a war to protect the powerless, he hopes to become more than the sum of his parts. Without White-Six, he’ll never survive this war. If that’s all he can be, he’ll never leave it.

    Pulled from training, Gracie is given the mission: take out the HVT--permanently. High-Value Target is a short story about Gracie, the protagonist of Sniper, Volume 2 of the Women of the United Federation Marines.
