80s/90s Norwegian book series called "Kompaniet" (The Company) unfortunately I don't think it ever got finished past the first two books.
Literally a teenage handball team is kidnapped by a alien species and tasked with traversing a planet inhabited by belligerent and hostile locals. Their only help is a gun store owner and former mercenary who stops by to pick one of them up and manages to get caught alongside them.
Trust me it sounds weird as fuck, but it was written by a, in gun owning circles, well known writer and editor of a Norwegian gun magazine in print from the 70s to the early 2000s. He uses the books to describe small unit actions in detail, criticise "big army" institutionalism, all while giving probably the best description of teenage girl group dynamics I have ever read in a book.
