Five Navy SEAL operators defend the residents of a remote mountain farming village in Afghanistan from attacks by marauding Taliban. Based on a story concept by Christopher McQuarrie, screenwriter of The Usual Suspects and director of the recent feature film Jack Reacher, this modern re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai set within the lens of the current Afghan conflict is given dramatic authenticity by co-writers Mark Long (The Silence of Our Friends, Shrapnel) and Dan Capel (founding member of SEAL Team Six), and includes a forward by first command officer of SEAL Team Six, military consultant Richard Marcinko.

Mark Long and Nick Sagan return to take a planetary revolution across the galaxy in the sequel to Shrapnel: Aristeia Rising. The last free colony in the Solar System has yet to fall, but how long can it withstand the siege? Under constant barrage from orbit and kept from replenishing much-needed supplies by a planetary blockade, the colonists of Venus find themselves in desperate circumstances. But unwilling to let their stand be in vain, the surprise hero of the war-notorious ex-marine Vijaya 'Sam' Narayan-must reverse their fortunes before time runs out on man's last, best hope of resisting tyranny! Soon to be a major motion picture, directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard).
