Why this must be read:

A powerful and endearing look at how war, and a war-setting, can change a man and a relationship. We get to see both John and Rodney in their moments of doubt and pain that conflict can bring. Using situations like having to kill a man to save a friend or not being able to save everyone, lamardeuse brings these two guys to sharp life in their rocky journey. The pain just gives the McShep get-together all that much more power and emotion. I swear you'll feel this one in your hearts and in your tearing eyes.

Story Summary: A few months ago, he’d never have considered that "death without honour" would ever be on a par with "death from soul-sucking alien."
