The war for reality has already begun. On the storm-ravaged world of Kharis-9, Fireteam Argon drops into what should’ve been a simple recon op—disrupt a Dominion relay post and exfil. Instead, they find a buried alien structure pulsing with impossible energy, Dominion Black Dagger operatives moving like shadows, and a memory that isn’t theirs waiting to wake. Captain Daren Voss has seen war, but nothing like this. When the Echo Core activates, it doesn’t just break the ground—it fractures time, identity, and the truth itself. Now, hunted by the Dominion and stalked by something older, Fireteam Argon must survive a battlefield that rewrites itself—and decide how far they’re willing to go to stop the Memory War before it begins. For fans of Halo, The Expanse, and Starship Troopers, this explosive military sci-fi novella is the first entry in the Galactic Marines series and a key front in the Chromatic War Universe. Featuring atmospheric visuals, classified dossiers, and high-impact tactical storytelling.
