Frozen Heart — J.D. Brink

Until he graduates from training, he has no name.

He is no one.

And to graduate, he need only survive.

To escape a life less ordinary, a young man challenges himself to become a sniper for the galaxy-spanning Combine Federal Army. But being a dead shot with a rifle is just the beginning. Alone in the frozen wilderness of a savage planet, he must master the three skills of a sniper: stealth, patience, and survival.

And if he fails, he'll lose his place as predator and instead become prey.
