Three hundred years of Civil War...
It was a golden time; most of the Earth was at peace. The United Nations controlled huge armies of Peacekeepers who kept that peace at the end of a gun.
Sergeant Sean O'Leary was one of those Peacekeepers and had fought in hundreds of battles while wearing the Blue Beret. Cybernetically enhanced each time after being wounded, he no longer was the same man, or soldier, he used to be.
He awakes after a supposed six month tour in stasis to find 300 years have passed and the Earth he remembers is gone. The UN had become divided and had fought itself for control of the world.
Sean discovers that only pockets of civilization remain and the rest of the world has sunk into a bizarre mixture of barbarism and feudal tribes. War is common, death just another companion in this new, harsh world.
This new Earth needed a Peacekeeper.

"In the Service of Peace, by C.K. Cassavoy" Wow! I loved this book. A really creative and exciting alternate future storyline. I couldn't put it down. I hope there's a sequel coming?!
"In the Service of Peace, by C.K. Cassavoy" After labouring far to long on how to recommend this book, I can only say it's simply fantastic. I am eagerly awaiting the next book and hope that Mr Cassavoy continues to write as he has truly found his calling......... Audi Alteram Partem
"In the Service of Peace by C.K. Cassavoy" I've never read anything like this. A very different future world from a very different perspective - a U.N. peacekeeper struggling with himself and those who now rule North America, in a time when peacekeepers could be the enemy. No bio of the author is provided but he obviously has a strong background in both peacekeeping and the military. His vivid battles scenes, involving fantastic new weapons, ring totally true in terms of military tactics and strategy. His story is filled with characters who are both engaging and believable, even in a strange new time. An excellent read. Ken O'Brien.
