Ragnar Beck only wanted one thing out of a life-the chance to soldier. In a war for the survival of the last continent untouched by the invader, Beck finally gets his shot to prove he's a combat warrior. As the battle unfolds and the only choice is to fight to the bitter end, he performs like the soldier he was raised to be, leaving no enemy standing on the last battleground he'll ever see. Or is it? Resurrected into an afterlife where he must prove his worth to join the ranks of an ultra-elite tasked with becoming the greatest warriors to ever exist, he asks himself the only question a real soldier can-who's gonna stop me?

Beck's struggle to make the grade is as important as his quest to discover who he fights for and why. Part mystery, part alternate history, all action thriller, Tier 1000 is the story of a determined warfighter and the battlefields from the past to the far-flung future that forge him into the Ultimate soldier.
