Lieutenant Theodore "Tuck" Grayson lives and breathes the soldier's code: Honor. Loyalty. Love of country. But when the North American Convex betrayed and murdered nearly half of Tuck's battalion, they did more than lose his allegiance. They created the very enemy they were hoping to destroy. However, justice must wait as Tuck hastily assumes command of the survivors in the aftermath. The Convex is on the warpath, chasing them deep into enemy territory and forcing the wounded battalion to fight on two fronts. Desperate for help, Tuck begins searching for the mysterious rebel known as Crux, only to realize that their intentions may not be as pure as they claim. Caught in a war of deception, Tuck must set aside the soldier's code and fight fire with fire for the sake of his friends. That only leaves one question: when he uncovers Crux, should he expose them? Or join them? If you enjoy tales of fast-paced action, of wars fought in the open and in the shadows, and of the secrets that nations keep, The Nexus Trilogy is the series for you. Lynchpin is the beginning of an epic journey that starts with the rise of a leader amidst the clash of two empires.
