When his dad died, Kerry Peters did the one thing he knew would have made his father proud. He signed up for the Marines. After barely making it through basic training and four days after deployment, he wasn't confident he'd survive his first tour.

As a bookworm, he wasn't considered a real soldier and most definitely not a hero.

Fate however has other plans for Fire Team One and when the squad wakes up alone in camp, the fight is no longer against the Vietcong … but against creatures from other worlds entirely.

This is a very smooth LitRPG story - so will incorporate aspects of RPG and gaming in the writing. The 'Smooth' reference means that they're not particularly 'heavy/long/intrusive' in nature.
