Summary

"Narakan Rifles, About Face!" by George H. (George Henry) Smith is a mid-20th century science fiction story that drops you onto Naraka, a soggy, unforgiving planet, as Terran and Narakan forces lock horns with the ruthless Rumi invaders. It's a tale woven with duty, the clash of cultures within military ranks, and the complex relationship between colonizers and the planet's natives. Lieutenant Terrence O'Mara is handed the daunting task of shaping the Narakan Rifles, an army of amphibian-like Narakans, into a fighting force, but struggles with their shortcomings, a consequence of the Rumi’s oppression. When the Rumi attack, O’Mara must unite his troops to protect their home and a group of vulnerable orphans. Through action-packed battles, personal evolution, a touch of humor, and surprising alliances, O’Mara unearths his own strength and leadership potential amidst war's turmoil.
