About S. Jaeger

S. Jaeger writes military science fiction about capable crews and small units trying to finish a mission while resources run short and the people giving orders make things harder.

The tone changes by series. Katana Five delivers tense naval survival and hard command choices. The C-Team delivers tactical adventure and humor from skilled commandos trapped in absurd circumstances. Competence, loyalty, and consequences carry through both.
