Grunt Life Series

PTSD Meets Military Sci Fi in this Brand New Series

"When I was asked to pitch an idea to Solaris Books, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I've never seen PTSD handled well in a sci fi novel. This was my chance to fix it. So I created a battalion of PTSD sufferors who were selected specifically because of their PTSD because it enables them to better fight the invading aliens. This is a chance to see PTSD heroes, not negatively-portrayed PTSD sufferors. We were worried that it would be too dark and bleak. In fact, Solaris said that these are the bleakest novels they've ever published. We were worried that no one would buy the books. We couldn't have been more wrong" - Weston Ochse, award-winning author of Grunt Life and Grunt Traitor

REVIEW: Weston Ochse’s GRUNT LIFE was one of my favorite novels released in 2014. It was also one of the finest Military SF novels I’d read, and I’ve been anticipating the sequel ever since. After the follow-up novel, GRUNT TRAITOR, arrived I took it with me on a plane trip…and ended up reading the whole novel that day.To put it mildly, GRUNT TRAITOR was a page-turner. GRUNT TRAITOR delivered on it all, making it the best Military SF I’ve read in years, and a huge step up (somehow) from the first book in the series. -Elitest Book Reviews
