In the 27th century, the Transgenic virus has redefined what it means to be human. The exiles of Earth’s Outer Colonies have evolved distinct genetic advantages over their ancestors, and they are coming home to claim their birthright. Commander Jantine leads an infiltration force of soldiers, scientists, and engineers on a mission to establish a new colony on the planet that cast them forth so many years before.Lieutenant Mira Harlan of the System Defense Force is part of a clandestine fleet stationed just outside Earth’s orbit. She doesn’t know it yet, but there is a priceless secret onboard her ship—a young girl whose genetic code might unlock the mysteries of the Transgenic virus. When Jantine and her crew emerge violently from hyperspace, they collide with a centuries-old conflict that could tear the home system apart . . . unless Harlan can master the secrets of her priceless cargo before even her own humanity becomes a casualty of war.

From the Inside Flap The war for the future of mankind may not be decided by who is right, but by who is left...In the 27th century, The Transgenic virus has redefined what it means to be human. The exiles of earth's Outer colonies have evolved different genetic advantages over their ancestors, and they are coming home to claim their birthright.Commander Jantine leads an infiltration force of soldiers, scientists, and engineers on a mission to establish a new colony--a beachhead--on the planet that cast them forth so many years before.Lieutenant Mira Harlan of the System defense Force is part of a clandestine fleet stationed just outside earth's orbit. She doesn't know it yet, but on board her ship is a priceless secret--a young girl whose genetic code might unlock the mysteries of the Transgenic virus.When Jantine and the crew of Streamship Seven emerge from hyperspace, they reignite a centuries-old conflict that could tear the home system apart. Harlan and her captain must both defend themselves and protect their charge, or humanity's next war may well be its last.
From the Back Cover As far as suicide missions go, this one wasn't going to get any better..."This is JTN-B38726-O. In accordance with Interstellar Compact and the Magellan Accords, I state now for the record that my actions are mine and mine alone. I hereby declare myself free of the tyranny of the Outer Colonies , and ask that my actions be viewed in the context of the greater good."On March 17, 2640 OER, I commandeered the freighter Argo and killed its crew, appropriating its cargo of workers and colonists for my own use and freeing them from lives of genetic servitude."Do not attempt to find us. Do not attempt to reclaim us. We are armed, we are free, and we will defend ourselves to the utmost of our abilities."You have been warned."

By Patrick W Potter I not a professional book reviewer so bear with me...Homefront is a new, actually a very soon to be released (I managed to snag a advanced copy!!), book by relatively new-comer Scott Magner. A little of something for everyone: genetic mutations, space flight, hand-to-hand combat, corrupt military as well as military that still has a soul all wrapped into a trip that makes one think about what defines being human, what it means to be loved, what responsibility entitles & what a family is composed of.Not a perfect read but damn close. Personally, I was a little confused in the first few chapters in sorting out the cast of characters but that could have just been me. The confuse was quickly sorted out & was not much of a distraction from the quality of the read. The chapters flowed smoothly one into the other but still allowed places to stop when the real world called but left you wanting to come back soon to see what happened next. The ending tied up the majority of the lose-ends but left enough questions for the obvious squeal.Here then is to there being sufficient readers that Mr Magner will be able to publish the next adventure in this saga.

Caused by a virus of unknown origin, humanity is evolving into different distinct sub-species. Magner does a great job of creating the differing types of humans, as well as the psychologies unique to each type. This is an action-packed book, with sufficient twists and turns to keep you up past your normal bedtime. The conflict between the uninfected humans and the virus-transformed ones constitutes the basis of this book, but sufficient hints are dropped to make it clear at least one sequel awaits. I will look forward to its arrival.

Building on traditional sf concepts, Homefront adds inspired twists and turns By Michael Voss I've been a fan of Scott James Magner's fiction for some time now, but he's been writing far longer than I've been a fan. And the reason I became a fan was an admiration for his previously published shorter fiction, two novelettes set in the universe of The Foreworld Saga, Hearts of Iron and Blood and Ashes, and his actual "first" novel Seasons of Truth, currently about to wrap up a 4-part serialization. These are uniformly wonderfully written stories, and couldn't be a better introduction to this new science fiction novel, Homefront. Because the earlier stories show what any reader moving on to Homefront will readily grasp: Magner has the breadth and depth to fascinate us across genres. The care he takes with his prose lights up his characters like an ion drive, his characters drive the stories like a starship pilot, and those stories take you to worlds you'd never imagine yourself.Traditionally in science fiction you read about a future in which humans spread out to colonize other worlds. Frequently those colonies, too distant from the home planet to continue under its influence or orders, become effectively exiles, even rebels against Earth's authority. There may be conflict between Earth and the colonials, even war, and sometimes the colonials come back stronger than expected to challenge the home planet's dominance. In Homefront, the colonials are deliberate exiles, but they come back in this instance to plant a sleeper colony that will challenge the home planet from within. Comprised of various types of genetic "mods", the infiltration team is prepared to make themselves look like rogues in order to offer deniability of the colonies' invasive intentions. Thus cut off from their home, the team must either succeed in planting the sleeper colony or admit failure. But things go wrong as soon as they emerge from hyperspace near Earth. Their presence is known, and they are unwittingly thrown into a conflict between factions on Earth that either seek extermination of the "gennies" or those who think they are near enough to creating a vaccine for the transgenic virus that is already within all of Earth's citizens. But a huge secret lies beneath the efforts at a vaccine, and the colonial team must reformulate their plans to take advantage of the sympathetic faction once they cross paths, rather literally, with one of it's ships, mysteriously out in space where no ships would be expected. What ensues will eventually determine the shape of the human race, but in the shorter term of the novel the definition of "human" is put to the test. Readers couldeasily make comparisons with James S A Corey's Expanse series, which similarly employs an ensemble cast to explore humanity's future under the threat of deliberate genetic contamination. So here's hoping The Transgenic Wars becomes the next great series to keep science fiction fans turning pages to find out what could possibly go wrong next! It's almost time to tally up those Best of 2014 lists, so hurry up and read Homefront so you can include it on yours. It will be near the top of mine!
