Battleship Nighthawk: Shadows of War: A Military Space Opera Series - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The fleet’s newest battleship vanishes without a trace. Its oldest is sent to find out why.

Twenty years ago, Charles Carroll refused an order to fire on civilian habitats. He saved thousands of lives—and sacrificed his own career. Eden never forgave his ship either.

Today the Nighthawk is a patchwork of mismatched parts, crewed by officers nobody else would take. She is also the only warship in range when the Poseidon—the pride of the fleet—sends a distress call from the edge of explored space and goes silent.

What waits beyond the frontier does not signal, does not negotiate, and does not stop. It spreads across a world like a black tide, and when it is finished, nothing living is left behind.

Eden refuses to believe it. The fleet stays home. To keep the Nighthawk flying, Carroll will have to bargain with the criminal syndicate he has despised his entire life—and make a choice he can never take back.

Some wars are fought for victory. This one is fought for survival.

Battleship Nighthawk is military space opera in the tradition of The Expanse. This full-cast epic spans the bridge of a dying warship, the halls of power, the underworld, and the hidden corners of a Hegemony unprepared for what is coming.

Book One of a three-volume story arc. This volume ends on a cliffhanger.
