But everyone says you have to write something else, so I started this one and also The Weight of Command. I was pretty new to writing, and I had a tough time distancing myself from the stress of being on submission. You know…in case that one didn’t sell, right? Except I couldn’t.
Back when I was waiting to see if Planetside was going to sell, everybody kept telling me that I needed to write something else. MICHAEL MAMMAY: The Misfit Soldier is something I’ve been kicking around for, I don’t know, five or six years, maybe.

Your new novel The Misfit Soldier is a standalone, which makes it a bit of a departure from your previous three novels that are all set in the same series.
#PUTTY SQUAD CONSPIRACY FULL#
I had a blast reading this book you can find my full spoiler-free review for it here. But as with any good heist novel, there’s plenty more to the story than the mission. When one of Sergeant Gas Gastovsky’s soldiers is left behind on a war-torn planet, he assembles an eclectic team of misfits to go after the missing man. The Misfit Soldier is a heist novel, combining elements more common to stories like Ocean’s Eleven with the trappings of military sci-fi. With his fourth book, The Misfit Soldier, Mammay is taking things a step further. They were great books, and elicited just as many laughs as gasps. He followed up with two sequels, Spaceside(2019) and Colonyside(2020), which further expanded Butler’s story. Michael Mammay broke onto the military sci-fi scene in 2018 with his novel Planetside, which followed semi-retired colonel Carl Butler as he unraveled a conspiracy with galaxy-wide implications. While that reputation is sometimes well-earned, it’s not always the case. Military science fiction often gets a rap for being very serious and filled with heavy ideas and themes.
