What we need now is a plot summary of the book.  Amazon still has yet to post that....

The book to be released on 19 August, Pointblank, is No. 2 in the force recon spinoff so it features FR operations in the war on Ravenette with some interesting complications.  A sub-plot involves FR Marine Sgt. Jack Daly who goes off to OCS on Arsenault.  Some of the characters in the main series do appear in this book, however, also with some interesting complications..

Hold the phone!  We have a date...Hoo Rah!  Storm the beaches August 19th!!  Beware Barnes & Noble!

Hey, any characters from the First Book in there....ie when Dean went to Arsenault?  Good thing we have at least half the character list up from Book One.

And Amazon.com finally has the description up:

Book Description
A BOLD NEW CONTINGENT–FORCE RECON–JOINS THE EXPLOSIVE STARFIST SPACE EPIC OF MARINES AT WAR.

A Confederation army is besieged on the planet Ravenette, cut off by and facing destruction at the hands of a dozen Secessionist Coalition worlds arrayed against it. The outnumbered and outgunned forces cling precariously to their foothold, dubbed “Bataan” by the desperate men in their fighting bunkers. Reinforcements are on the way, but will they arrive in time? And even if they do, can they match the well-led, highly motivated enemy determined to destroy them in battle?

But the Confederation commander holds a wild card, an elite force armed only with what they carry on their backs and in their heads: a small detachment of Marines who lightly go where others fear to tread, the Fourth Force Recon Company. For anyone else this mission would be suicide, but for these Marines, it’s just another day in the maelstrom.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345460596/sr=1-2/qid=1154111016/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-0648103-2822565?ie=UTF8&s=books

Sounds fun.  Looking forward to it.  Only 1 month left....
