Overview: The Fifth Battalion is the story of Norman Bolstad, a gunnery sergeant of an ancient failed invasion of Earth, currently eking a living as a lab technician in San Francisco. Over 5,000 years ago, Baltizor Confederacy attempted to set up a base on Earth, unaware of their arch-enemy, the Murabi Empire, already using this remote planet as a prison facility for their most incorrigible criminals serving the “forever dead” sentence. The entire Baltizor advance contingent, the 5th Battalion, was wiped out by the prison guards, derailing the invasion.
Planet Earth is a prison, populated exclusively by the inmates unaware of their incarceration. As a part of their sentence, the prisoners of Earth had been forcibly stripped of their memory and any awareness of their immortal spiritual nature. The convicts consider themselves one-life animals, who die forever with every successive reincarnation. However, unlike the convicts of Earth, the fallen Baltizorian invaders, having never been sentenced and having avoided the original brainwashing treatment, retained their memory and awareness. The Baltizor POWs have been living among the inmates, reincarnating and unsuccessfully trying to escape from Earth for several millennia.
The Fifth Battalion is a dynamic and intense, sometimes gory, often humorous, action-filled account of the final escape attempt from Earth, where Norman, the eternal soldier, whom we originally find depressed, irresponsible and self-absorbed, unexpectedly plays a major part.
The Fifth Battalion is a study of spirituality, as opposed to religiosity, a journey from the bleakness of the dead-end materialistic existence to the brilliant splendor of spiritual awareness and understanding.
The Fifth Battalion is a love story of Norman and Linda, the lovers for countless millennia. Linda is currently a dead-forever convict with no memory beyond current life-time. Driven by their love and mutual attraction, Norman and Linda for hundreds of millions of years in many incarnations always seek and occasionally find each other. Regardless of their respective race, gender or marital status, despite any odds, through the ages they find a way to be together.
The Fifth Battalion is a study of military tactics and, most of all, the meditation on timeless concepts of honor, duty and orders and what it truly means to be a soldier. A surprising twist at the very end pounds home the message that being a soldier, a protector, reaches far beyond blind obedience to orders.
The Fifth Battalion is a study of valor and duty, friendship and loyalty, love and sex, justice and punishment, thirst for power and insatiable greed, but first and foremost it is an intense action thriller with strong Sci-Fi undertones.
