Captained by former Detached Guerrilla Forces Colonel R.A. “Rags” Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best.

What looks to be the birth of another great series by the author of the "Matador" books. A sci-fi mercenary mystery novel, intrigue and action nicely balanced, with tasty characters that beg for follow up in future novels.
