Tras los sucesos de *2-4 Cavalry Story 15: In the Pit of Vipers* y bajo el mando de un nuevo comandante de tropa, el Capitán Karl Bradi, la unidad es redesignada como la Tropa C del 1-5 Kommando. Tras su despliegue en la Tierra, la unidad se encuentra en fase de descanso y reequipamiento, ocupándose además de eliminar los últimos focos de resistencia en Friesland. A pesar de ello, son enviados a Durham, un planeta perteneciente a los Planetas Independientes que padece lo que, de manera imprecisa, se ha descrito como una infestación zombi. La unidad se enfrenta a monstruos -tanto reales como humanos- en su lucha por sobrevivir en el planeta.

Eric Johnson is a military veteran and self-published author who served in the US Army and US Army National Guard for twelve years and three years, respectively, and has been deployed on five occasions, including two combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He has been self-published since 2010 and has numerous books available on multiple platforms. He uses his combat experience to craft imaginative stories that focus on counterinsurgency warfare, as well as more conventional war stories, depending on the story. He also reads books on the subject, ensuring that while he draws on his combat experience to make his stories emotionally and accurately right, he also applies that knowledge to enhance them and provide a well-researched touch. While he has focused on the conventional side of the futuristic military in the 2-4 Cavalry series, he has gradually shifted to special operations stories and other related tropes, such as the conventional mercenary unit Task Force Green. His primary genre is military science fiction (5th Kommando, C Troop 1-5 Kommando, 2-4 Cavalry series, Eagle Hammer Universe series, and TF Green), and he has written a few books in other genres as well, including the fantasy Tales of Baromir series. He has also written some Music as well. He has also written some Erotica as well. He has also written Other Books that don't fit into a series of books that he has written.
