Description:

The stunning military science fiction novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Prospero Burns. The colony planet of Eighty-Six looks as dull as all its fellow new worlds to veteran journalist Lex Falk, but when a local squabble starts to turn violent, and the media start getting the runaround from the military high command, his interest is seriously piqued. Forbidden from approaching the battlezone, he gets himself chipped inside the head of a combat veteran – and uncovers the story of a lifetime. When the soldier is killed, however, Falk must use all his resourcefulness to get back home again… and blow the lid off the whole damn thing. FILE Science Fiction [ Future War | Breaking News | A Dead Host | Long Way Home ] “Embedded is a nail-biting, seat-of-the-pants ride – which also has serious things to say about war and the news media.” - The Guardian “Rips across the page like a blast wave from a barrage of low orbit launched kinetic impactors. Abnett makes hard bitten, high concept mil-fic fun again.” - John Birmingham "Embedded is gripping and near-impossible to put down, and you will find yourself compelled to keep reading, well into the night, until you reach the satisfying conclusion." - Civilian Reader
