Description
The survival of humanity hangs in the balance.
Science fiction action and adventure - this omnibus edition contains the first three volumes of the Survival Wars series. Includes:
Crimson Tempest (Book 1) Humanity is fighting against an implacable foe. The Ghasts â€" a ruthless alien race - seem hell-bent on wiping out mankind. They have a vast warfleet and their technology is advancing at a terrible rate.
Captain John Nathan Duggan and his crew are given a mission â€" find the missing ESS Crimson and bring it home. Little does Duggan realise, this is no ordinary mission. As he struggles against enemies both within and without, he desperately tries to unlock the mystery surrounding the Crimson's disappearance and the unknown weapons it carries. He soon discovers the missing warship might be the only hope for salvation that mankind has left.
Bane of Worlds (Book 2) Following his successful mission to recover the missing warship ESS Crimson, Captain John Duggan finds himself unredeemed in the eyes of his superiors.
His duties resume and this time he's given something easy - escort a cargo ship to a distant planet and bring it home safely. But war is never so predictable and a straightforward mission becomes something much more important. The outcome may well determine the future of humanity.
Chains of Duty (Book 3) Following events at the Helius Blackstar, Duggan is given the Space Corps' newest warship â€" a heavy cruiser armed to the teeth with the latest weapons and technology. A prospector craft, the SC Lupus, has gone missing and his superiors want to find out what happened and the aggressors dealt with accordingly.
The wrecked spaceship is soon found. However, nothing is as it seems. What Duggan finds on a distant planet turns everything on its head. With the survival of humanity potentially in the balance, Duggan â€" a man forever chained by duty â€" is required to take the biggest risk of all. The man who has faced everything is about to come up against an opponent he cannot possibly defend himself against.
