Old soldiers never die... except inside, when they lack a reason to live.Wes Stauer, a retired US Army Colonel, is slowing dying inside from a lack of purpose, when he receives a plea from help from an old friend: "Our leader's son and heir has been kidnapped. We don't know where he is. We need you to get him back for us. The people who have him are numerous, warlike, and well armed. But money is no object."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Reinvigorated, Stauer assembles his force - old soldiers, sailors and airman - and finds his purpose.Written by Tom Kratman, the author of the Carrera's Legions books, the Countdown series follows a professional mercenary company as it forms up firstly to mount a hostage rescue, and then later as it becomes embroiled in conflicts not entirely of its choosing.The books in the series, as of May 2012, are: Countdown: The Liberators Countdown: M Day Countdown: H Hour | |

Private Military Contractors | |
| Countdown / int_6c553873 | comment |
Private Military Contractors: The protagonists, who form the company M Day Inc. However, it's simply referred to as "the Regiment", and acts like a proper army. An excursis, with a publishing date following the period of the novel series, also talks of the rise of other PMCs in the face of the governments commanding national militaries becoming unwilling to act against the rising tide of barbarism destroying civilization. | |
