FNG: noun. informal. Military term, “F****** New Guy”: a person
just out of training or newly transferred into the unit, who either hasn’t
proved their worth or doesn’t know how to operate properly due to lack of
experience.
“Welcome to Black Spear.” With these four words Cole West is
immediately thrust into the shadowy world of the military’s most
deadly black-ops program. No warning. No training. No choice but to buckle
up as Black Spear conscripts him to fight against a paramilitary group of
renegade veterans known only as “Terminal.”
Terminal is no ragtag militia but a veritable private army of disgruntled
soldiers with one mission: Stop at nothing to topple the government they
think failed them. Armed with a highly volatile bioweapon capable of
absorbing the properties of other contagions, they plan to wash the country
clean through an ocean of blood.
It’s up to Cole West and Black Spear to prevent Terminal’s
terrorist attacks and stop the insurrection before it can happen. To survive
in Black Spear, West will have to prove himself. But even on day one, there
are no second chances…
