Description

The UFS Phoenix returns to Homeworld, after more than three years of searching the galaxy for a way to save humanity from the looming AI threat. Some of Fleet's captains are unhappy with their own command, following the massive casualties of Nia's first strike, and are looking to Captain Erik Debogande as the war leader they truly need, as the threat of civil war looms. But on Homeworld lurks an old threat, a secret kept by Fleet Command since Homeworld's first conquest by humans. A secret that could tear Fleet, and Erik's powerful family, apart.

REVIEWS I thought this was going to be yet another cookie-cutter space opera, boy was I wrong! This was fantastic. ...it hits the sweet spot between hard-science and imaginary scifi science. The hard science is very hard, from the perils of centrifugal spin-gravity in combat spacecraft to the destructive potential of ultra-fast kinetic energy weapons. The scifi science is made-up, but it has the key properties which all-too-often are missing: Internal Self-Consistency and Attention To Unintended Consequences. This makes the scifi science semi-hard as well... ...The characters are memorable and engaging... ...I have read this series out to book #6. It just keeps getting better and better. Buy these books.

"Joel Shepherd is one of the most dynamic science fiction writers working in the field today. Each of his books blends pulse-pounding action with mind-blowng concepts and a deep understanding of the complications of the human heart. He is one of our very best." Lou Anders, author of Frostborn and Hugo-award winning editor.
