Operation Breakout - Mark E. Cooper

Operation Breakout is the fourth novel in the Merkiaari Wars series. This book is not free, but worth paying for if you like some hard space battle science fiction. Read the whole series though. The first book, Hard Duty, is free.

After the Merkiaari attack on the Shan is repelled, the Alliance is at Red One Alert status. Where will the Merkiaari pop up next? Captain Colgan is now commanding a heavy cruiser. When he captures a raider ship, the boarding party discovers some interesting cargo. Cargo that could change everything. This is another shoot-em up space adventure. They don't get any better, except now I need book five and it's not written yet! Very highly recommended.
