Taken from their planet and their century,they are?the Lost Soldiers.Diagnosed with MS, Major Rodger Murphy was stateside-bound on a Blackhawk from Mogadishu when it was hit by a surface-to-air missile. Somehow, however, he didn't die, nor did the others in the helicopter with him on that fateful day in the 1990's. Instead, they were captured by an almost-alien race and put into cold storage.Recovered over a hundred years later, Murphy and his compatriots wake to find themselves rescued by the officers-and truly alien allies-of the Consolidated Terran Republic. But Murphy and the other refugees from the Twentieth Century-the so-called "Lost Soldiers"-are now untold light years from Earth, where everything and everyone they once knew are long gone.Granted, the friendly forces who've rescued them will retrieve them on their way back to Earth as soon as they complete an ongoing mission. But in the meantime, Murphy and Company need to accomplish a small task of their own: seize a planet and establish a base of operations. They will have to recruit allies and capture enemy equipment to sustain them until the main force returns, and Murphy's troops have to do it with little support and fewer resources. As if that isn't enough of a challenge, it's just Murphy's luck to also be the victim of Murphy's Law: the only Lost Soldiers who could be spared for the job were the losers and ne'er-do-wells who weren't considered useful enough to take on the main mission. Defiant and determined to prove that assessment wrong, they gave themselves a different, more suitable name: Murphy's Lawless.
