    Second in the “series with plenty of heart” from the bestselling author of “compelling military science fiction thrillers” (AllReaders.com). 
     
    The Spec Ops Squad is a team of elite soldiers from every alien race in the Alliance of Light. They’re supposed to be the best of the best, handling all the toughest missions—but these elite soldiers don’t have a whole lot in common. It’s fallen to Sgt. Bart “Dragon” Dark to forge them into a seamless fighting machine. It hasn’t been easy, but they’ve accomplished some big things: they scored a major victory over the Ilion Federation, and importantly, they proved that they can function as a team. 
     
    Now the First Combined Regiment are back on Earth, recovering from their first mission together, trying to unlearn some of the bad habits they picked up. But before they get much down time, they’ve got to go on the offensive: they’re going deep into enemy territory to take and hold the key world of Olviat. If they fail in this Deep Strike, it’s not just this mission that falls apart—it could be the entire Alliance. 
     
    “A good, fast read for those who are into military science fiction.” —Rambles 
     
    Praise for Rick Shelley 
     
    “Rick Shelley was a soldier at heart, and his books were written from the heart. They carry the real feel of the sweat, blood, and camaraderie of those on the front lines.” —Jack Campbell, New York Times–bestselling author

    Bubba’s back from Fairyland, and sometimes it feels like they shoulda just stayed there! 
    Man, coming back to the real world sucks. Bubba and his whole team have been fired on account of going MIA for a year and a half (yeah, time moves differently in Faerie. Yay.), and now they’ve got to…get jobs? Oh, this is going to go well. 
    Blood, Sweat, & Tears tracks Bubba, Skeeter, Uncle Father Joe, and Amy as they re-enter society, get new jobs, almost burn down down the bar stupid enough to hire Bubba, end up owning a shifter crossfit gym, travel to Florida to learn way more about Uncle Father Joe’s new girlfriend than they ever thought they wanted to know, and then end up dealing with Quincy F’n Harker?!? 
    Yeah, that’s right. The Quincy Harker/Bubba crossover that you’ve all been waiting for happens right here, and the results are explosive, to say the least. No really, I’m not exaggerating. A lot of shit blows up. Because, well, Bubba. 
    Blood, Sweat, & Tears contains the following novellas - 
    Born To Be Wild 
    Swamp Music 
    Houses of the Holy 
    Blaze of Glory
