Vitalis: Valkyries. Vitalis, #9

Vitalis: Valkyries is book 9 in the futuristic science fiction series, VitalisVitalis is too much. The best equipment, training, and enhancements the Terran military could provide weren't enough to master the planet or stop the alien invasion. The military had failed where simple civilians and social rejects had thrived. The Terran Coalition needed a new plan. Instead of their best, they sent their worst.
From the depths of their military they pulled the troublemakers, the underperformers, and the worthless. They gave them minimal training, surplus equipment, and a mission no one expected them to survive. Instead of proving they were mightier than Vitalis, they became a part of Vitalis and used it to make them stronger. Now they have a new mission. They have to return to Earth, where Vitalian contagion has spread.
The planet is doomed without protection and guidance. Leadership that Lieutenant Simms and his team of Commandos has been tasked to provide, no matter what the plans the survivors on Earth might already have.
