THE FIFTH BATTALION
Logline
The Fifth Battalion is a story of Norman, a gunnery sergeant of an ancient failed invasion of Earth, currently eking a living as a lab technician in San Francisco. Norman discovers that his peoples' arch-enemy is using Earth as a prison for their most incorrigible criminals, serving the "forever dead" sentence—brutally stripped of any understanding of their true spiritual nature and unaware of their incarceration. Norman and his love, Linda, and the remnants of the 5th Battalion, his comrades at arms reincarnating on Earth for millennia, must find a way to escape from this planet to help people of Earth amid the unfolding catastrophe. The Fifth Battalion, an intense sci-fi action thriller, is a dynamic, sometimes gory, often humorous action-filled account of their final escape attempt, a study in love, loyalty and spirituality.
