Honor and Fidelity

A military sci-fi fantasy where troops keeping peace on an alien planet find themselves engaged in an interstellar war.
 
It was an easy assignment on a peaceful alien world--until the natives attacked! The Sandcastle, on a water world on the fringe of Earth's expanding empire, houses the Fifth Foreign Legion--troops sent there to protect the interests of Seafarms Interstellar, a powerful Terran corporation. At first, Captain Fraser thought his biggest problem would be keeping the Legionnaires from getting too bored. But that was before the Free Swimmers--the nomadic ocean clans--attacked and nearly overran the Sandcastle. Suddenly, the Fifth Foreign Legion is facing a seemingly unstoppable alien army equipped not only with their native crossbows, but also high-tech offworld weapons that just might spell the end for the Fifth as well as the Seafarms civilians they have sworn to protect.
