Of Imperfection

Altered Earth, Book 3

Barbarous terrorists. A brutal broadcast. Can a battle-weary medic stop a splinter war before the cost of survival destroys her world?

Miriam Tanner is breaking. A seasoned veteran, the self-critical marine struggles to keep breathing as unending violence grinds humanity to dust. But when a sickening execution feed airs, she throws herself into a mission where failure means more comrades in body bags.

With her team fracturing under the pressure, Miriam falters when she’s trapped behind enemy lines with a ghost from the past who haunts her every decision. And as painful old choices resurface with a vengeance, she fights to navigate a storm of hypocrisy, unrest, and sacrifice to prevent an irreversible collapse.

Can Miriam find the line between endurance and surrender before everything she loves is lost?

Epic end to the trilogy

I’m still shocked how much this series pulled me in, despite not usually being a fan of military fiction, scifi or otherwise. This one started off with a pretty brutal setup, and continued to have fairly high stakes but keep the story moving by varying what the stakes were and who got the focus.

In the end, Im happy with how things turned out, and I can’t recommend it enough.
