Another great installment to the Orion series. A flawed but brilliant character. (

Epigraph

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap...

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Savior of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot...

- Rudyard Kipling
Tommy

Dedication

To Paul Spencer, Tommy Atkins, and all their cousins.

First words

Prologue

This time death was like being in the center of a whirlpool, inside the heart of a roaring tornado.

Chapter 1

I found myself confined in a featureless gray enclosure, the curving wall of a smooth plastic cocoon so close upon me that I could not lift my head without bumping it.
