Book description
Planetside by Michael Mammay
Military sci-fi done right.
Colonel Carl Butler gets pulled from retirement for what should be a simple missing person case. A councilor's son vanishes between evacuation and hospital arrival. Simple enough. Until it isn't.
Mammay writes like someone who's been there. The details feel authentic. The bureaucracy, the cover-ups, the way things spiral out of control fast. No space opera here. Just grimy, realistic warfare transplanted to another world.
Butler's investigation hits wall after wall. Hospital records disappear. Witnesses vanish. Special forces won't cooperate. Someone's hiding something big, using the war as camouflage.
The audiobook narrator gets the tone perfectly. World-weary but professional. Exactly what Butler should sound like.
What makes this work isn't the alien battles or space station politics. It's the slow unraveling of truth. Each dead end reveals another layer. Mammay trusts his audience to follow along without hand-holding.
The action scenes are sharp. Concise. No purple prose when things go wrong. Just clear, competent writing about competent people in impossible situations.
Planetside understands military fiction doesn't need aliens to be alien. The real enemy is often closer to home. Cover-ups. Politics. People protecting their own interests while pretending to serve something greater.
Butler's forced to fight his way through both literal and figurative minefields. The question isn't whether he'll survive. It's whether he'll like what he finds.
Smart, stripped-down military fiction. Mammay writes like he's filing after-action reports instead of crafting novels. That's a compliment.
The sequel can't come fast enough.
