Reviews

The Lucky 13th Series

Dirigent Mercenary Corps Series

Officer-Cadet (#1)
“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, author of the bestselling Lost Fleet series

“Rick Shelley knows how to write compelling military science fiction thrillers that are so action packed, readers hardly have a moment for an oxygen break. The audience learns what it is like to be a small but vital part of a big operation and how the individual feels about invading a planet with a heavy civil population. The Spec Ops Squads is a series with plenty of heart.”
