Lieutenant James Barnett never expected his first major assignment to be a time travel mission to ancient Greece-but with humanity's future hanging in the balance, the 1st Strategic Recruiting Battalion will take any opportunity they can. Tasked with assembling the ultimate team from history's most legendary beings, Jim and his soldiers cut a path across 1400 BC, striking deals with gods and recruiting monsters. None of their recruits prove quite as surprising as Medusa-fearsome, misunderstood, and far more than the myth. She becomes the heart of their growing team, guiding them through ancient rivalries while helping Greece's cities with their problems along the way. But not every god welcomes their presence. One has it out to destroy the band of outsiders. The newly formed ragtag group of legends must stand together against a divine onslaught, with the fate of two worlds on the line.
