From the time G39, a Marine rifleman in mankind's distant future is "born" to the time he crash lands on an alien planet only a month later, his life is a dizzying onslaught of action and pain. Everything he does has to be in accordance with his superior's wishes, or the control device implanted in the base of his skull will 'correct' him...painfully. Every moment of every day is a fight, whether it be the struggle against his own rebellious thoughts, or with the Alien army that awaits the Terran invasion or even his fellow humans, G39 is forced to conquer each challenge or be destroyed.
