On the fantastical planet of Fury, there are many wondrous and powerful beings. Some kind and benevolent, and some malicious and cruel. When it comes to good and evil there has always been a balance. However there is one person on Fury who takes that balance to a whole new level. Meet Brent Cosmos, the last of the Cosmos family, Fury's greatest heroes for generations. Brent is exactly like his other heroic ancestors. That is mainly because while his father was a Cosmos, his mother was an evil space alien who loved nothing more than to cause chaos and suffering wherever she went. Well, you know what they say, you can't choose your family. Despite his unfortunate heritage, Brent still tries his best to be a great hero like his father and all of the other Cosmoses before him. Although, being literally 50% evil makes that difficult at times. Still despite his violent tendencies, mean spirited nature, and destructive instincts, Brent will always try his best. That counts for something right? Join Brent Cosmos and his friends on an epic and action-packed adventure as they fight monsters, super villains, and Brent's deep-seated personal issues!

How can any conceivable military victory be worth the death and suffering of billions? That's the question Commander Thomas Longo must confront as against all odds the tide turns against his Dracan foes and final victory begins to beckon in the distance. Yes, there's still plenty of hard fighting to be done as the Emperor holds out hoping for a miracle. The end of the tunnel, however, is definitely in sight. Paradoxically this makes things more difficult still for young Thomas, who now must also battle against those who'd pervert his victory into wealth and power for themselves. Which enemy will Thomas find deadlier? The Dracan Emperor? Or his own government?

In Finding the Target, Frederick W. Kagan describes the three basic transformations within the U.S. military since Vietnam. First was the move to an all-volunteer force and a new generation of weapons systems in the 1970s. Second was the emergence of stealth technology and precision-guided munitions in the 1980s. Third was the information technology that followed the fall of the Soviet Union and the first Gulf War. This last could have insured the U.S. continuing military preeminence, but this goal was compromised by Clinton's drawing down of our armed forces in the 1990s and Bush's response to 9/11 and the global war on terror. The issue of transformation leads Kagan to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's vision of a ''new ''military; the conduct of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; and the disconnect between grand strategic visions such as the Bush Doctrine's idea of ''preemption ''and the underfunding of military force structures that are supposed to achieve such goals.
