Veteran Combat Experience Meets Explosive Military SciFi
ODAT: Orbital Drop Armor Team – Book 3: Imperial Storm
Retired U.S. Army officer LTC (R) Alexander R. Tambascia returns with the highly anticipated third installment of his military science fiction series, ODAT: Orbital Drop Armor Team – Book 3: Imperial Storm. Blending real-world combat experience with epic science fiction warfare, Imperial Storm delivers a gritty, authentic look at futuristic battlefields where survival is never guaranteed—and death may not be the end.
In Imperial Storm, readers rejoin the ODAT operators as the Empire faces a looming crisis threatening faster-than-light travel itself. Tasked with securing a hostile desert planet rich in vital extremely rare mineral needed for FTL travel.
The team is dropped into a brutal conflict against heavily fortified enemies, massive mechanized forces, and terrifying apex predators lurking beneath the sands. With cutting-edge armor, experimental tanks, and orbital drop assaults, the mission pushes both technology and soldiers to their limits.
What sets Imperial Storm apart is its foundation in real combat experience. Many of the characters, missions, and battlefield dynamics are inspired by Tambascia’s own deployments in Iraq, which this story is heavily based on, , reimagined within a science fiction universe. The result is a story that balances high-octane action with emotional depth, camaraderie, and the psychological toll of war.
“This book is about more than futuristic weapons and alien worlds,” says Tambascia. “It’s about soldiers—the bonds they form, the losses they carry, the weight of command, and what it means to keep fighting when the cost keeps rising.”
Imperial Storm has been proofread and edited by science fiction enthusiast Mike Valentino, features cover art and illustrations by Rebekah Haskell, and includes a back-cover summary by bestselling science fiction author Jeffery Haskell.
