Description
Two lost heroes from the past are the only hope for our future.
The war of the border worlds is about to re-ignite. And it's Corporal Gus Trillion's job at the Propaganda Office to drum up recruits. But the people of the inner colonies have heard one too many false alarms. Disabled in battle and on the verge of burnout, Gus shares their indifference--until his reporter friend Lyssa Baltacha stumbles upon top secret satellite footage indicating that the treacherous Sheikers are planning an invasion on a scale never imagined. Now Gus and Lyssa must find a way to galvanize humanity to rise up against the enemy--before it's too late...
Their plan hinges on the recruitment of two legendary fighter aces, "Cardie" and "Brink", to lead the counter-attack. But those heroes of Fifth Wing Squadron retired long ago, in their prime, and they've never told anyone why. It's a riddle Gus and Lyssa must solve if their plan has any hope of success. A highly classified riddle. The riddle of Pyro Canyon.
Lock 'n load for one last thrilling, emotional flight to interstellar war and redemption.

Pyro Canyon by Robert Appleton
I got this as an ARC. I’m not paid to give 5 Star reviews. Thanks #NetGalley. I haven’t read the rest of the series.
A galactic invasion by the Sheikers... Fifth Wing Conder Squadron’s last 2 living pilots, retired from duty many years ago... But where did they go?
What will happen? Who will die? And, what happened at Perihelion- and Pyro Canyon? The only survivors were Jane “Cardie” and Gus, and they haven’t said anything.
A story kinda like the Star Wars X-Wing books. If you liked those, you might like this book.
I give this book 4 Stars for a tale of interstellar war and redemption. The ending is good and doesn’t feel rushed, unlike some books.

I loved the whole ":Two lost heroes from the past are the only hope for our future" I thought that was a unique premise for the book and the characters were well done.

Robert Appleton (https://www.robertappletonbooks.com) is the author of more than 15 novels. Pyro Canyon was published in 2021. It is the 86th book I completed reading in 2023.
Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own! Due to scenes of violence and mature language, I categorize this novel as R.
Corporal Second Rate Gus Trillion has been assigned to the Propaganda Office to help with recruitment. Years earlier, he had made a heroic effort to save his ship. That resulted in severe injuries and the assignment to the Propaganda Office.
Twenty-four-year-old Lyssa Baltacha is a reporter and a friend of Trillion. She had come across information indicating that the Sheikers are planning a major assault. Trillion and Baltacha must do what they can to prepare humanity. Part of their preparation plan calls for the recruitment of legendary fighter aces “Cardie” and “Brink”. An incident at Pyro Canyon is linked to their retirement. Trillion and Baltacha must discover the real story before they can prepare for the expected attack.
I enjoyed the 4 hours I spent reading this 167-page science fiction novel. The story started slow but got better as it progressed. I give this novel a rating of 3.8 (rounded to 4) out of 5.
