Forged in Battle – Get Ready for a Wild Ride!

July 25, 2025 by Marc Edelheit Leave a Comment

I’m very excited to announce that the first book in my Command Decision series, Forged in Battle, is out now! Forged in Battle is an entertaining, page-turning book with characters that are a blast to write!

I don’t want to give too much away, but here’s a glimpse at some of the early praise the book has received…

***** A gripping, gritty, and glorious military fantasy!

***** This book was an incredibly fun read. The space combat was engrossing, and the characters were well written…

***** Reads like a great Sci-Fi television series! I was able to visualize the entire storyline in vivid detail as the action unfolded.

​

On a routine diplomatic mission, Captain Jaxon Steele’s ship is orbiting a war-torn planet when the entire system erupts in rebellion. Missiles smash into Ranger’s shields. Communications are jammed. Enemy warships are closing in fast… Ranger is an advanced destroyer—fast, stealthy, and armed to the teeth—but she wasn’t built for heavy fighting, and a rebel battleship would tear her to shreds. Steele will need all his trickery and tactical genius to survive the first strike.

​
​But survival is not enough. A vast enemy fleet is lurking somewhere in the system. Only Ranger can locate it and prevent a catastrophic defeat. Steele knows his duty… He begins a deadly game of hunter and hunted across the rebel system, knowing that any mistake will be his last. Can his leadership, daring, and resolve turn the tide of the war?… read more​

​

I hope Forged in Battle has you completely hooked and racing through the pages! Get your copy on Amazon and Audible today!

​
Best regards,

Marc

April 26, 2025 by Marc Edelheit Leave a Comment

Legionnaires—you’ve done it. The Stiger Chronicles Special Edition Hardcover – Book 1 campaign has officially come to a victorious close! Thanks to your incredible support, we didn’t just fund this project—we charged forward and conquered every goal we set.

And in the final hours, you delivered once again—unlocking the last stretch goal! That means every Special Edition Hardcover will now feature a custom-designed foiled dust jacket upgrade, making this book an even more fitting tribute to Stiger’s legacy.

Your passion, your enthusiasm, your belief in this story—you made this happen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

​

Now, here’s what comes next for the Legion:

🔹 Processing Your Pledge Payments

Kickstarter will now begin processing pledges. If everything goes through smoothly, you’re good to go! If there’s an issue with your payment, Kickstarter will notify you with a link to update your information.

Common reasons for payment issues include:

  • Mismatched billing info
  • Fraud alerts from your bank
  • Expired or incorrect CVV codes
  • Temporary holds on the account

If a payment issue happens, you’ll have 7 days to fix it before your pledge is canceled—so if you get a notice, don’t wait to update it!

​

📬 Backer Surveys – Incoming Soon!

Once Kickstarter’s 7-day payment window is done, I’ll send out surveys. These will gather:

✅ Your mailing address (for physical rewards)
✅ Details needed to fulfill digital rewards
✅ Any other key information we need to deliver your rewards

Keep an eye on your inbox—it’s critical to fill it out so we can fulfill your pledge without delay!

​

🛠 Next Steps & Production Timeline

I’ll keep you posted at every stage—from finalizing the upgraded designs to production to fulfillment. Expect behind-the-scenes updates, timeline check-ins, and sneak peeks as we bring your Special Editions to life.

For now, take a moment to celebrate—because you are part of something truly special. The Legion rides again… and thanks to you, Stiger’s story will be preserved in a stunning, one-of-a-kind edition.

​

With honor and gratitude,
Marc

​

P.S. If you get a payment notification from Kickstarter, be sure to update your details before the 7-day window closes. Let’s make sure every Legionnaire gets their reward! 🛡️🐅
