Heavy Gear Blitz! Operation: Drop Bears Dive!

Operation: Drop Bears Dive!

[From the back cover;]

"Barrington Gates. Baja. Red Cliffs. Battles that the 08th had paid for in blood against the CEF over thirty cycles ago and now the enemy had returned. Corporal Vandenbosche gripped the control sticks on either side of him in the dark cockpit of his Koala. Anger welled up inside of him as he thought of the loss of his family in the orbital bombardments dropped so casually on his home town.

Today, he would repay the invaders for their crimes. His regiment would drop from the skies and rain hell on the enemy. Looking through his gear's omni-camera, Vandenbosche saw the green light and his squadron commander readying himself to jump from their Orca transport. As Sergeant Mason engaged his gear's SMS and leaped out of the open bay door, he called over the radio, "Boys, I'll meet ya on the ground. Give 'em hell!"

Vandenbosche grinned at his sergeant's order and moved to position himself on the launch track. The clear blue skies seemed incredibly inappropriate for the bloody work in store for the Crazy Eights."
