The Narrow Path to War

Five hundred years after landing on Arion, a planet turned sideways by an asteroid collision, Earth's only interstellar colony stands on the brink of war. Trust and cooperation are in short supply on Arion as alliances crumble, bandit attacks continue to rise, and magnetic storms destroy all but the simplest machines.

Alex Vonn, a troubled university student, couldn't care less until his only friend is tortured by foreign spies aboard the remains of a buried spaceship. When the spies flee the region, Alex joins the pursuit team as a Deputy Marshal for the Alliance. However, he soon finds himself a pawn in the battle between survival and dominance, and must decide whom to trust if he wants to avert the coming war.

"High voltage, high-octane and nonstop action..."
"Anticipate twists and turns of plot, an unusual and satisfying attention to hard science throughout, and a focus on character development that differentiates The Narrow Path to War from the usual approach of a 'military science fiction' novel."  - Midwest Book Review

"Frizzell packs a punch with well-written action sequences that will leave readers hanging on the edge and anxious to turn the next page." - US Review
