About the Book

WALDENBOOKS BOOK OF THE WEEK LOCUS RECOMMENDED READING LIST An alien armada from the center of Orion makes its deadly way through the galaxy, destroying all human life in the process, and only Marine Corporal Kenneth Jonson and the Aggressor Six team can stop the onslaught. Reviews "An intense and satisfying novel." -Walter Jon Williams "Wil McCarthy brings thought and insight to the realm of fast-paced, action science fiction. AGGRESSOR SIX is a taut, vivid adventure that never rests. A splendid debut for a bright light on the SF horizon." -David Brin "A fine novel... from a writer who's going to be around for a very long time. This one is a calling card." -Daniel Keys Moran "I enjoyed it... Wil McCarthy is a writer to watch." -Vernor Vinge "A neat, action-filled novel. What starts out like Heinlein ends up looking a lot more like Haldeman. AGGRESSOR SIX is a satisfying debut." -Gary K. Wolfe, Locus "An exciting debut... an exciting start to a promising career." -Fred Cleaver, The Denver Post "One part STARSHIP TROOPERS, one part OUTER LIMITS-style psychological suspense... McCarthy cranks up the tension effectively. Recommended." -Charles DeLint, Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction "A well-told tale that combines brisk action, intelligent conception of the aliens, and deeper characterization of the humans than is often found..." -Roland Green, Booklist "Very well done. [The] headlong pace and rousing finale... belie what must be at heart a fairly cerebral tale. McCarthy has the gift. Watch for his next." -Tom Easton, Analog About the Author Engineer/Novelist/Journalist/Entrepreneur Wil McCarthy is a former contributing editor for WIRED magazine and science columnist for the SyFy channel (previously SciFi channel), where his popular "Lab Notes" column ran from 1999 through 2009.

Dick awards, and contributed to projects that won a Webbie, an Eppie, a Game Developers' Choice Award, and a General Excellence National Magazine Award. In addition, his imaginary world of "P2," from the novel LOST IN TRANSMISSION, was rated one of the 10 best science fiction planets of all time by Discover magazine. His short fiction has graced the pages of magazines like Analog, Asimov's, WIRED, and SF Age, and his novels include the New York Times Notable BLOOM, Amazon.com "Best of Y2K" THE COLLAPSIUM (a national bestseller) and, most recently, TO CRUSH THE MOON.
