Have the adventure of a lifetime with proper military training and the best equipment in the galaxy! Join today, and in just five short years, you’ll receive free transport to Elysium: the paradise world for warriors and patriots! When the Proxy entered the solar system, they ushered in a new era of peace, prosperity, and health that altered humanity forever. A century later—with the average human living three times longer than before First Contact—the Earth became overcrowded, and mankind found itself completely dependent on the technologically advanced aliens known as the Proxy Now, three hundred years after First Contact, the Earth is so overpopulated that governments have taken control of everything. The wealthy have all they can dream of, but for most people, life has become a grueling marathon of constant work for lifetimes that stretch over two centuries in length. When Nick Nichols and his friends—fresh out of high school—strike out into the work force, they quickly find the twelve-hour shifts, six days per week of hard labor unbearable. When their first paychecks reveal a mere pittance for their toil, the friends know that something must change. The Proxy Military Corps (PMC) is the only way to escape the crowded conditions on Earth. Every Space Marine who agrees to fight for the Proxy and completes their five-year enlistment period is given free transport to Elysium, a Goldilocks planet perfect for human colonization. But all reports of Elysium come solely from the aliens, who alone hold the key to interstellar travel. The Proxy jealously guard their technology—so without the aliens’ help, mankind is trapped in the solar system. While the only hope for a better life is by joining the PMC, enlistment carries its own hazards and uncertainties; no one who joins the PMC ever returns to Earth. Most people believe the promises of the PMC are all lies used to lure the gullible to their deaths. Elysium, they say, is just a fantasy—and fighting for the Proxy is seen as a betrayal of the human race. But for those brave enough to face the perils of the galaxy beyond our solar system, the PMC might just be their best chance for having a life worth living. Dragon Team Seven is the first book in a new military space opera by prolific author Toby Neighbors. Join Nick and his friends as they experience the trials and rewards of military life in space. With realistic characters navigating their way through a vast galaxy that you’re sure to find exciting, this action-packed novel promises to be a new favorite. It’s richly imaginative, fast-paced, and surprising. If you’re ready to be swept away into a world that you’ll never want to leave, Dragon Team Seven is for you.
